One of my favorite places in Detroit is the Detroit Institute of Art. I went there as a kid and fell in love with every bit of it, and I’ve been back again and agin. The special exhibit they have right now is Ruben & Isabel Toledo: Labor of Love, and I was lucky enough …
At the end of 2016/the dawn of 2017, I spent a few days in New Orleans with my family. It was wonderful to spend some time with my family and explore a new city! I went to the NOMA, the New Orleans Museum of Art, and saw this piece of amazingness. Ya’ll. I was so deeply …
When this room turned bright pink, I asked myself “Is this what drugs feel like?” Throughout the day, Aten Reign changes colors, casting the room and everyone in it into strange electric glows. It envelopes the viewer in light, and it’s a little overwhelming. This is one of a series of aquatint prints, mimicking the kind …
On Saturday, I had the chance to visit the Muskegon Museum of Art for the first time. I came because I heard about their fiber art exhibit – I was very interested in fiber art at one point in time, and I thought it would be worth a visit. The museum is small and has …

The Musée des Beaux Arts Montréal rocked my world. Like most places I go, I didn’t know much about it before going there, but when I arrived, I was amazed. The museum was founded in 1860, making it the oldest art institution in Canada. Admission to the permanent collection is free for everyone, which I …
I really like art museums, so when I heard about the Art Gallery of Ontario, I decided to go. The outside of the building is dominated by this huge glass curved thing, which is interesting to see incorporated with the interior space. The inside of that glass curve was made of fantastic wood supports, and …
