This is going to sound crazy but I recently discovered a FREE online app that allows users to create their own Medieval work of art. Yes, I know how wild that sounds, but it’s true! The Historic Tale Construction Kit provides hours of endless fun. I’m not kidding – the possibilities are infinite! This app […]
Read more "Create Your Own Medieval Tapestry!"As someone who has lived in the Sunshine State for the majority of her life, I can boldly and assuredly say that summers in Florida are no joke. Summers here are hot, they are humid, they are unrelenting and they last until November. Mosquitos are vicious and ever-present and a heavy duty summertime storm can […]
Read more "Art History Fun to Keep You Outta’ the Sun!"The 31st Annual Orlando International Fringe Theatre Festival has come to a close and big feelings abound. While I am “Fringe Fried” after two weeks of way more fun than any one human should legally be allowed to have, I am also sad that the spell has been broken and that it’s back to the […]

In the form of simple, but fun craft tutorials subtly inspired by the month of October, […]

Read more "Google Arts & Culture App"My sincerest gratitude to all those who tuned in to last night’s presentation of “Art History in Pop Culture” for the Orlando Fringe. If you have ever attended one of my lectures or classes, then you know that I am not like most art history instructors. I am a big nerdy weirdo with no shame […]
Read more "THANK YOU!"My #CovidClassics post for this week features my beagle, Chip, in the role she was born to play. Frida Kahlo had a whole menagerie of animals to keep her company at her home, Casa Azul (The Blue House). However, Mr. Xolotl held a special place in Frida’s heart. Señor Xolotl was a breed of Mexican […]
Read more "My Covid Classics – #3"We have been practicing social distancing for quite a while now and if you are like me, you probably need a haircut. My last haircut was on February 20th, so I am definitely looking a little shaggy around the edges.
