What to expect
My talks are generally 45 minutes in length, and I leave the remaining 15 minutes for Q&A from the audience. That being said, I will always stay late to make sure that I have answered every question from the audience. I do not charge extra for staying late to answer these questions. Giving talks on art and art history is a deep passion of mine, and I love to share what I know with people that are interested.
About
Hello and welcome! I am a professional artist and writer who gives art-based lectures ranging from Leonardo da Vinci, to Pablo Picasso, to Contemporary Art. My artwork is in the permanent collections of several museums and I am signed to three art galleries. In addition to this, I am also an official Art Copyist with the Louvre Museum in Paris. This experience led me to paint my own renditions of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa and Saint John the Baptist paintings.
As a writer, I am a weekly lifestyle columnist for the online publication, Oregon Kid. I am also an art history researcher whose findings have been published in academic journals. I have had two books of mine traditionally published which include, 'Selling Leonardo: The Art World's Greatest Scandal' as well as 'Holy Ghost: Decoding Leonardo da Vinci's Final Painting.' I am also an affiliated scholar with Harvard and Yale Universities. I give lectures ranging from private art clubs to Ivy League Universities.
Additional booking notes
Since I give talks on art and art history I only need a place to connect my laptop and for the host location to have a projector so I can display my presentation.

Influences and inspiration
I am greatly influenced on the traditional lecture model. I also love to have my talks be interactive where audience members are able to participate during the lecture if they desire.
