Art Historian, Storyteller, & Travel Curator
Based in Columbia, Missouri but a proud citizen of the world.
I plan trips the way I study paintings — slowly, with curiosity and care.
My background in art history has taught me that travel, like art, is a form of looking. Both ask us to pay attention: to light, to gesture, to what lingers in the margins.
When I design travel experiences, I’m thinking about presence. I want others to feel what I felt standing before Vigée Le Brun’s self-portrait or walking beside Bernini’s fountain—that art and life are porous. Each journey is an invitation to see more deeply, to notice how beauty and belonging live side by side in the world.
My work sits somewhere between curator, historian, and storyteller. I gather details, stories, and sensory fragments, arranging them into journeys that are part pilgrimage and part conversation. Whether I’m guiding others through the museums of Paris or writing about the maternal in eighteenth-century portraiture, my aim is the same: to help people slow down, look closely, and recognize that wonder is not rare. It’s already waiting—in art, in cities, in the ordinary moments of our lives.
