About

This website is part blog, part portfolio, part visual souvenirs of my trips and travels, some associated with my research, some not. Art historian by training, I am an intrepid traveler, quilter, crafter, cat lover, and voracious reader of (mostly) bad fiction.

I love being at home, but I love experiencing all things new (to me) whether it’s a new local or a new book. At the same time, I’m an avid re-reader and re-visitor…there’s comfort in the familiar. This duality definitely proves frustrating at times and difficult to navigate. How can I be both an adventurer AND a homebody?

This website is largely without a thesis. Most of my posts will touch on things that I care about in one way or another, connected to travel, reading, art history, crafting, or I might decide to write an ode to one of my favorite musical artists Cardi B or why I think the Real Housewives franchises is one of the most important cultural zeitgeists of the 21st century. Whatever the topic, I hope you’re along for the ride, and I hope that it brings you just a little bit of fun and enjoyment. 🙂
