🕯️ What if the “Painter of Light” was hiding a world of darkness?⁠ ⁠ Behind the mass-market fame was a troubled artist battling demons, masking pain with pastel, and leaving behind a secret body of work that shocked even his family.⁠ ⁠ Tickets - speedmuseum.org/cinema/art-for…

Sometimes, but rarely, a museum proves its worth in surprising ways. I never expected to see the current exhibit "Brilliant Exiles: American Women in Paris 1900-1939" at any museum, least of all at the once sleepy Speed Art Museum in Louisville, Kentucky. buff.ly/Rke9pM6

So incredibly proud of my former student, Terion Thomas being featured in the All Staff Art Show on display now at the Speed Art Museum! When I teach my students, it’s more than the 3-4 years they are in my classroom. With special students like this, it’s a lifelong connection🎨
