My first Smarthistory video is live! Thanks to Ariel Fein for inviting me to do this w/ her while we were in Venice for the Byzantine Congress in August, and thanks to Dr. Lauren Kilroy-Ewbank for the fabulous editing! I was nervous but it was a super fun experience.

One of the Smarthistory videos I am most proud of was made in collaboration with Richard Jackson (clan leader of the Taantʼa kwáan Teikwedí Tlingit) about the Chief Johnson totem pole in Ketchikan, Alaska. After 1.5 years, it is published!

Korean art was basically completely absent from my entire art history education, and I only started to learn on my own when I wanted to bring it into my own classes later on. How I wish I'd had these essays back then to read and learn from! I mean, look at this kundika!

I love Rembrandt's print of his friend, Abraham Francen—who is surrounded by book, skull, religious triptych, likely foreign figurine, landscape painting, etc. A great entry point to 17th-c. Amsterdam, trade, printmaking, collecting + portraits.

One of my favorite recent videos is about Rosa Rolanda's Self-Portrait from 1939. Rolanda was such a fascinating artist who was right in the midst of modernist Mexico's artistic developments in the 20s and 30s (and beyond).
