Over the past five years, forty original, well-researched, multimedia presentations have been shared with libraries, museums and synagogues in New York, Connecticut and New Jersey on artists and art movements. The topics have ranged from Picasso during the war years to artists under censorship. In many cases I have become a regular lecturer at a number of these institutions including a senior residence in Manhattan.

My research has included traveling to Spain so that I could gain a deeper understanding of Velazquez's life, including finding his childhood home in Seville (see photo). I am actively involved with the Edward Hopper House and delivered keynote presentations there, most recently Hopper's Hat.

I look forward to doing more talks in 2020, listed below are a sampling of some of the topics that I can cover. If you are interested in hosting a presentation, please feel free to contact me so that I can learn more about your community and establish a mutually acceptable date for a keynote in the future.
