Reviews

“I just saw your presentation of Mary Cassatt last night at the Schaumburg Library. You were wonderful! Just knowing that Mary followed her dreams and actually was privileged to know Degas, Monet, Manet, and many of the Impressionists is remarkable! I have always loved her work, and you made the history of her accomplishments all come to life … I have always enjoyed your portrayals in the past and look forward to seeing you in the future.”
