I Always Wanted to Be An Art History Professor…
And now I can from the comfort of my own home!
During the pandemic, I attended a plethora of art lectures on everything from prehistoric art, Street Art to Alice Neel. I thoroughly enjoyed all of them. It was amazing how much excellent free content there was from all the museums, libraries, performance venues and associations. I didn’t know what to watch first!
Along the way, I was asked to give a number of art history lectures both because of my artist experiences and strong art history background. As a graduate student in art history at the University of Michigan, I eagerly anticipated planning my lectures (in the slide room, believe it or not!) and delivering them each week.
I thought I found my calling – until the depression came to Detroit along with double digit unemployment. Fast forward through my MBA and marketing career. Now I’m back in my element talking about art once again – and making it too.
Motherhood In Art
I re-presented one of my favorite recent talks – Motherhood In Art – courtesy of the Yonkers Public Library (YPL) who recorded the video below. Simply click on the visual/box to watch.

FYI. Here’s the flyer the YPL put together which made the whole event feel so real and professional.
Thank you for joining me on this epic journey celebrating women and mothers through art. I hope you learned something new, which is my goal whoever I speak.
I look forward to seeing you at future talks, whether in person or online, and to fulfilling my college dream of being an art history professor albeit in this unanticipated and untraditional way. At the very least, I feel a Fatherhood in Art talk coming on for June, 2024…
P.S. I realize now that I missed a speaking opportunity during my Food for Thought show last fall. But I have a plan in the works to make up for that. Stay tuned.
