Art & Music reviews
I am the daughter of an art educator, the wife of a music promoter/songwriter/musician and the sister of a sculptor/gallery curator/editor of multiple books about ceramics. I was raised on Manhattan museums and Broadway musicals. I worked at a music store in high school, selling new stuff and remastered classics as the first wave of consumers started converting their vinyl collections to digital. I’ve had flute, piano, singing and guitar lessons in my life, but I’m not even remotely a musician. I can draw a convincing wolf, but I’m not remotely a visual artist.
I am, however, a person who has devoted a lot of time to helping people appreciate, understand and decode art and music. I’ve run a local music column, interviewed scores of artists and musicians, reviewed dozens of exhibitions, CDs and concerts, worked as a contributing editor to a regional arts magazine and managed the daunting task of reporting the visual arts on public radio.
