Milwaukee Art Museum,
Volunteer and Docent
.

2008 - present.
 
Commuted to Milwaukee 2-3 times/week to attend docent training, led by renowned museum educator, Barbara Brown Lee. Training included study of art historic scholarship on the museum collection. We emphasized presenting art works and elements of art, in an engaging manner for a wide range of audiences. School programs include grade school through high school classes. Weekend and event tours, which are my specialty, most often focus on exhibitions, collection highlights or introducing Santiago Calatrava’s first North American structure.
