  • my Bio

    I was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky. I left Louisville in the 90s to study English and Art History, first at Saint Louis University, and then at the University of Pittsburgh, but ultimately returned to my hometown for good. I live there now with my two teenage children and two senior rescue dogs.

    I have taught every conceivable art history course at several institutions of higher learning. Recently, I have carved out a niche as a freelance art historian, teaching virtual classes for Morbid Anatomy in Brooklyn, New York, and for Indiana University (Southeast and Kokomo campuses).  In addition, I have a free monthly talk series, Art History Illustrated, at the Cultural Arts Center (formerly the Carnegie Center for Art and History) in New Albany, Indiana.

    In , I graduated from the yoga teacher training program at Supreme Peace Yoga and Wellness in Louisville.  I am currently sharing my passion for the Hindu tradition and asana practice by teaching yoga for two different yoga studios in Louisville.  I am certified RYT by the Yoga Alliance.
