<p>October was a month of feeling the flow of fall, changing colors, crisper air, and a rush of new art. Autumn has never been quite my favorite, but I noticed it a different arrival this year, it arrived slowly, humid...

<p>What Happened Live in September?</p><p>This unseasonably warm September has me back running in Central Park as I train for a few up-coming half-marathons. Fall art season is back in full swing and I would have to say...

<p>I jumped off the Black and Gold ferry on Labor Day at 9:03 AM PST into the mouth of the San Francisco Bay. With the Pacific to my back while bobbing up and down in the crisp cold waters that I used to call home, I...

<p>It is the height of summer and some of my favorite things in the city are not necessarily arts related. I have seen most of the summer blockbuster art exhibits, so I have dug down to find some other more off the...

<p>It was PRIDE month all month (they really do it big in New York), but I think it really comes down to that final weekend that commemorates when young people got fed up with the policing at Stonewall Inn and they...

<p>I am a few days late after May (June is now bustin’ out all over), but it was a nice balanced month of the final operas of the season and rounding out Tony nominated shows. I was able to take in some of the summer...

<p>Like many of us, I find myself wrestling with confusion, stress, and the weight of a destabilized world. Yet in the midst of it, I’ve discovered that discipline—especially in my meditation practice and daily...

<p>March has been a whirlwind month of incredible performances, art, and laughs! Even with limited funds, I am able to optimize my museum memberships and I keep winning the lottery for Broadway and The Met Opera. Gotta...

<p>Rome is calling me. Hello Pope Francis! The Pope has thrown open the cathedral doors, welcoming in the Jubilee—a special holy year in Rome, Vatican City, and across Italy. This Catholic celebration, which began just...

<p>Here is a short reflection of my journey this past September to Walter de Maria’s “The Lightning Field (1977).” It is my favorite piece of American art. (The audio includes more text and voice-over than the...

<p>As 2024 winds down, I thought it might be appropriate to share a reflection that I have been working on for quite some time. As many writers do, they start and stop pieces all the time. This reflection started as...

<p>I’m writing from the Museum of Modern Art on a Sunday morning, where I discovered that ChatGPT is blocked on their Wi-Fi—which makes me giggle. MoMA has been lauding Refik Anadol’s “Unsupervised” in the lobby for the...

<p>Art galleries in the US have always posed a unique challenge for me. And I would say first and foremost, I still obsess on the art market. I think the art market is fascinating. And not all galleries are created...

<p>I am wrestling. I am frustrated. I am in love. I want more. I am in awe. So much remains unresolved. How can one artist cause so many contradictory emotions at once within and outside the gallery? This year more than...

<p>Over the last few weeks, I have become much more attuned to color theory by experimenting with water color. I have started to learn my shades, my tints, and how colors work together. In a way, I have been thinking...
