As Adult Programs Manager at Boca Raton Museum of Art, I create, plan, organize and facilitate numerous programs to educate, inform and delight our visitors. Boca Talk lectures relating to our changing exhibitions includes noted scholars, curators, artists, and art historians. Friends of the Uffizi lectures is a series created in partnership with the American "sister" organization to the Italian Museum featuring insightful talks about Renaissance art. The most popular program Music in the Museum showcases talented pianists, duo and chamber groups, as well as an initiated partnership with Palm Beach Opera Apprentice Artists. Jazz in the Gallery is an exciting mainstay, and Boca Screening explores documentaries and films highlighting artists and creativity.With years of experience as Associate Director of Lisa Sette Gallery, I have curated exhibitions with extraordinary artists from around the world, as well as guest lectured for university and college art programs to promote a better understanding of the contemporary art world. Curated a series of private exhibitions including The Alpha Self, The Extra Self and The Everlasting Self which were photographic exhibitions and interview explorations of 21 women over a 5 year time period. Wrote and narrated “Layering,” a contemporary artist exhibition video for Carolina Escobar. Participated as juror for the Artlink A.E. England Gallery’s 13th annual exhibition.
