St Louis, MO
What is your major(s)/minor(s)?
Instructor of Art History.
What has been the most meaningful idea you’ve discovered or learned so far in preparation for your study abroad to Italy/Malta?
I have enjoyed the opportunity to make further connections between Renaissance and Baroque art and how the original locations of the art influenced artistic choices. I have been most inspired by the undaunted nature of many artists and how they embraced challenges and invented creative solutions.
For me, the Italy/Malta Study Abroad is an opportunity to…
Help students see the way artistic choices, patronage, and location influence the way a story is told.
What do you want to be better at?
I look forward to improving my understanding of Italian.
How does learning about storytelling through art and journalism shape the way you view, and want to engage with, the world?
The themes of many stories are universal, and looking at the art of the past provides an additional perspective as I view today’s world.
