Adventure to Morocco

This winter I will be taking The Art and Architecture of Morocco Course.

I'm looking forward to this for many reasons.
I've been out of school for about six months and now I'll be able to take part in an art history course with some of my good friends, while visiting different cities in Morocco!

On December 27th I will be departing Boston to Paris and then to Casablanca, where the trip begins.


We will be studying textiles, decorative arts as well as painting and sculpture. The course examines the mixture of African and Islamic influences in desert Kasbahs, Mosques, Palaces and Gardens of the imperial city of Marrakesh.

4 days in Marrakesh
2 days in Telouet
2 days in Anemiter
2 days in Agdz
1 day in M'hamid
3 days in the Sahara Desert
1 final day in Marrakesh
1 final day in Casablanca

Crane Estate Art Show. What a great day!

This is either a really hilarious photo or an awful coincidence (Crane Estate. Get it?!)
Either way, I'm glad I can be in this photo with good friends.
Today was Crane Estate Art Show/Sale! I had a great time and would like to thank everyone who went, especially Kevin, Mike, Bradford and Arielle.
A special thank you to Justin and Michelle for bringing hot apple cider to the opening!

The Crane Estate is probably one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen! The fact that it's open to the public makes taking a trip up to Ipswich completely worth it. Side note,did you know 25% of each sale on artwork from today and tomorrow on will go to help preserving the land at the Estate?!
Congratulations to all the artists.

Here are some photos from today. Enjoy!
