Meet Your Instructor

Hi! I love art and sharing it with others; I also love wine! I’ve recently expanded the scope of wines I drink and creating this course gave me a deeper appreciation and enjoyment of wine and art. I hope it will do the same for you!

As a museum-lover, docent and educator I saw how people wanted to learn about and engage with art, but couldn’t because of barriers inherent to museums and cultural institutions. That’s why I started Art History for Real, to change how people like you experience art with unique online courses like this one. I look forward to meeting you in the course community forum and hearing your thoughts about your favorite works of art and views on wine drinking cultures! Salut!

Salut!
