A new project for the fall!
I’ll be offering an art-and-scent tour in my “official” role at the Brooklyn Museum. Since this is a gallery event, attendance is limited. Please visit the BKM website for registration and more information!

A pleasant surprise during a hectic day: I found out that my presentation “Frida Kahlo: A Perfumed Portrait” had been covered by two writers for the All Arts website.
I’m grateful to Gillian Edevane and Britt Stigler for attending last Thursday’s event and writing such a detailed and observant summary of my talk and Kahlo’s taste in fragrance.

I’m working on approximately eleventy-six different things right now, but this is one of the most exciting. I’ll be giving a presentation about Frida Kahlo’s favorite fragrances (really! scents she actually owned and wore, as evidenced by the perfume bottles in her house!) followed by a tour of the exhibition Frida Kahlo: Appearances Can Be Deceiving at the Brooklyn Museum on April 4, 2019.
If you’d like to learn more about this event, please visit the Museum’s event page, here. (It’s a ticketed event.)
Many thanks to the coworkers who have helped to make this idea a reality!
UPDATE: This event filled up quickly! I’m hoping to be able to offer a second date. If so, I’ll announce it here.
UP-UPDATE: The second date, on April 18, filled up VERY quickly. It’s exciting to know that people are so interested in Kahlo *and* fragrance…!
