London – Whistler At The Tate
This is the most insightful exhibition into an artist that is both well-known and one that flies somewhat under the radar. I’ve always thought James Abbot McNeill Whistler ought to be more widely known that he currently is. Whenever I visit Paris, I always make a stop at the Musee D’Orsay to see one painting…

Summer At The Winery – New Short Story

12 Days of Advent Day 7 | The London Walk
As if you needed to be reminded that I am a lover of London, but I feel the need to remind you that I am a lover of London in the most intimate and ridiculous of ways because it is simply the best city in the world; culture, art, history, welcome… The best time outside…
