Museum Of Art Stories
I’m passionate about the idea of creating work that lives outside traditional gallery settings — art and design that people encounter in their everyday lives, often without even realizing it at first.
One of the things I have always loved about working in museums is there is no 'typical' day. … I am always learning about upcoming exhibitions and artists in our collection of more than 9,000 objects.
