| Introduction | “I was seven when I decided to be a geographer, twenty-five when I decided be an art historian. I have been very, very lucky to study and be both, to do what I have enthusiasm and passion for. ” B.S. Geography and Environmental Studies, TNU. M.A. English Literature, University of Notre Dame; M.A. Art History, George Mason University. |
| Interests | I enjoy cultured activities, such as going to a ballet or musical following a nice dinner. Most sports bore me to death. I love St. Barths for the beaches, Istanbul for the exotica and the Oriental influences and Florence for the art. But I probably like Paris in November the most. Instead of eating turkey over Thanksgiving, I would prefer to go to Paris, listen to jazz and write a novel. That always seems like a great adventure. |
