Over the past six years, I've had the privilege of being a regular guest speaker on a variety of art topics at libraries, museums and synagogues in New York, Connecticut and New Jersey.
As we move beyond the pandemic, I will continue to work with libraries and organizations via zoom and look forward to live events. My current series consists of 10 visual lectures, including my new talk, Pink Daisies in a Glass Jar, which focuses Jackie Kennedy's love of art, including her personal collection and a New York painter she was drawn to.
Currently, I'm putting together my speaking schedule for the year so please contact me to save a date for 2021.

"Thank you, once again, for a most fascinating presentation - about Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis' private art collection. Your talk added depth and perspective to Jackie's life and your thoughtful presentation style helps everyone "lean in" to the material even more. We are so grateful!"
