Meet Me in the Drawing Room

I've become that person. Remember when the only virus we needed to worry about came in an email from your boss with the subject line "task?" #lifeintheageofcovid19 (at White Plains, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_VJ-ATlIdy/?igshid=82ff1103m2pb

Is #negroniwednesday a thing? Well, it is now... I like cocktails that are aromatic, herbal, and/or a little bitter, which is probably why I'm such a fan of this classic. Also, it's a perfect sipper -- just one is just right. #howdoyouquarantini #tanqueray (at White Plains, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_To1yQllhr/?igshid=1hdr0yavgvwsz

If it's going to be in a museum, I can't think of a better way to install John Singer Sargent's "The Boit Sisters." This painting so vividly captures early girlhood. I always remember a classmate in my "Americans in Paris" seminar trying to make the case that Sargent titled this painting based on the French word for wood (bois), citing the girls' stiff, unmoving posture. After letting her go on form a good 5 minutes, my professor and eventual grad school advisor couldn't take it anymore: It was just their name. Their name was Boit... #sargent #art #johnsingersargent #mfaboston #stayhome (at Museum of Fine Arts, Boston) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-qeEGuFDa1/?igshid=1h5qfhkrcs6z2

#MetropolisSunrise is a pretty special project. This morning, at 4:30AM, awesome volunteers from across Westchester joined the brave staff of @artswestchester and @browdertown to pin and sew for a LIVE broadcast on NBC, featuring this monumental work of public art. There was a lot of coffee. I am so humbled by the outpouring of community support and collaboration this work has inspired. I am so grateful for our team. I can't wait for you to see it all together. Won't you come be part of its making? Link to info in bio. #fabriconbuildings #publicart #art #contemporaryart (at ArtsWestchester) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9Z6pWJlzNf/?igshid=14x9hxupkrmda

@evalewitt's installation for @thealdrich bathes you in color. The subtle movement of the hangings excites (if not makes you a little dizzy.) I just want to pull up a chair and sit myself in there all day. #art #contemporaryary #installationart #thealdrich #evalewitt (at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9Mg_m4liyH/?igshid=12ucmhu2zq7bb

Open Studios are my favorite way to uncover different artists and check the real pulse of the art world. Especially enjoyed visiting the @columbiamfavisualarts candidates. It was so wonderful to see painting, especially these strong portraits by Susan M B Chen. Apparently, @jerrysaltz likes them too. @susanmbchen. . . . #painting #portraits #contemporaryart #art (at Prentis Hall -Studios) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4tV5k0l8Bb/?igshid=1eykes3vvl8ld

We always love it when @waneonecod comes to visit. Especially when he brings his paint cans. The street "mural" he painted outside of @artswestchester has become a landmark in downtown White Plains. Today, he came by to give it a refresh after the City refreshed Mamaroneck Avenue. Loved how residents who saw Wane during the original install were excited to see him back, like he was family (in a good way.) This is what public art is all about. #art #publicart #streetart #montanacans #waneone #whiteplainspublicart (at White Plains, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4ds6vmlHS9/?igshid=1gxx3mf0ssx92

Inside is a solemn place for worship, punctuated with warm, heavenly lights. #cairo #egypt #travel #travelegypt #adventure #travelblog #traveler (at Mosque of Muhammad Ali Pacha جامع محمد علي Kahire Mehmet Ali Paşa Camii) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3fhoeVlwkd/?igshid=1pgbcc7fsic5e

A public art commission in a month or less? No problem, we can do that. Excited to finally share that artist Tatjana Kunst (@mermudstudio) was awarded the first #artonthebeach19 installation. Tatjana's "Floating Forest: Playland" was chosen from among 54 proposals for this unique opportunity to transform a long-time vacant, 750+ sq ft vendor booth into a work of art. The call only went out in late May. Congratulations to Tatjana, and major shout out to the incredible team at @artswestcheaster, especially my right hand on these projects @lhanley12. It was an ambitious timeline, and everyone rallied to make it happen. Tatjana (and her entire family) was a true pleasure to work with. Our friends at @westchester_county_government and @westchestercountyparks were awesome partners on this endeavor.
