I’ve recently moved my writing essays over to Substack. It is a free platform for writers, and many of the most respected journalists have left mainstream media and gone on Substack.

Though I really do not consider myself a writer, I have found joy in researching and crafting essays. Most combine my family ties to the art world, and support a long-term project of crafting an art history text book from my personal perspective. It’s a hell of a lot of fun! I hope you think so too!

I am also a proud member of the Iowa Writers Collaborative on Substack and I follow a lot of artists who make journaling a daily habit. Please consider following me and following those that I follow!

My goals are to stay curious and inspired while celebrating beauty and re-framing art history.
