Dear Art Diary

Dear Art Diary is an interactive journal designed to help you look at and connect with art more deeply.

As an art historian, one of the most important lessons I’ve learned in my career is that the simplest, yet often most forgotten way to appreciate art is to really look at it and let your mind wander. Facts, context, and history are all valuable, but the true joy of art lies in what happens when you observe with your own eyes, listen to your emotional response, and form your own interpretations.

That’s exactly what this art diary is here to help you do.
