“About Face” at SOBO Gallery

One of my favorite things about Central Florida is all the wonderful pockets of creativity and art scattered throughout area and the town of Winter Garden, specifically its historic downtown district, is one such special place. Winter Garden is home to the Winter Garden Art Association and its SOBO Gallery hosts art exhibitions and demonstrations […]

A Very Special Anniversary

This summer marks a very special anniversary for me. Would you believe that five years ago I gave my very first lectures as The Wandering Art Historian??? In the spring of 2016, the Winter Garden Art Association put out a call for creative workshops and classes. As a member, I noticed that the art association […]

Suprematism

Last month (which seems like an eternity ago), I gave a lecture on The Russian Avant Garde at SoBo Gallery in Winter Garden, FL. One of the things we discussed was Kazimir Malevich and his Suprematist paintings. During the early years of the 20th century, Malevich dedicated himself to the idea that art should not […]

Rauschenberg & Rosenquist

Have you ever wondered about the artistic progression from Abstract Expressionism to Pop Art? If so, then you will want to attend my lecture on Robert Rauschenberg and James Rosenquist. Rauschenberg and Rosenquist were two Florida artists who moved the art world away from the drip paintings of the Abstract Expressionists and toward the mass […]

Modern Art Madness vol. 2!

I am thrilled to finally announce my new lecture series debuting Spring 2020 – Modern Art Madness vol.2! Modern Art is such an epic movement it surely cannot be contained to just one lecture series. This spring I will explore a whole host of artists who played significant roles in the Modern Art movement and […]

The Art World & Money

I saved the most controversial discussion topic for last – The Art World & Money. In a climate of scarcity, especially for funding the arts, there seems to be an overabundance of high-ticket works of art up for grabs. Why is this? Are artists producing works specifically for the art market? Is it couth to […]
