Who is your favorite artist?
Anni Albers is my spirit guide. My other rock stars include Agnes Martin, Eva Hesse and Josef Albers.
What is your favorite city to visit?
Since I live in New York City, I typically prefer to visit places in nature rather than cities. There is so much extreme, inexplicable natural beauty on our planet. Exploring those remote and unspoiled places is my passion and inspiration.
Which is your favorite museum?
The Whitney is our go-to favorite. I think they do a phenomenal job of engaging people of all ages and levels of artistic knowledge. I love their art-making room. It’s one of the things I’ve been missing most in quarantine.
When you are not creating art, what are you reading or watching to keep your mind occupied?
I love to read fiction and watch movies and series. There’s no better way to relax than getting lost in a story. Lately, however, I’ve been delving more into some timely non-fiction reading, because the call to education feels urgent. I just finished Cornell West’s Race Matters and Robin DiAngelo’s White Fragility. I’m currently reading How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram Kendi. For lighter fare, I’m watching the latest season of Billions, and the kids and I are enjoying The Mindy Project.
