2011 was a great year for the arts. 

I launched my blog ARTNPerspective, volunteered as an exhibition assistant at Gallery Visio, worked as a curatorial intern at Boston University School of Visual Arts as part of the ARTTable Summer Mentored Internship Program, began my current position as lecturer at UMSL, and presented my paper "Portrait of a Woman: A Bust by Edmonia Lewis" at the 2011 Women in the Arts Conference.

I am looking forward to 2012. 

In addition to teaching "Introduction to Western Art" classes, I will present my paper "Edmonia Lewis vs. James Peck Thomas" at the Midwest Art History Society Conference in Wichita, Kansas March 29 - 31. 

I hope the new year brings you joy and happiness.
