With over 25 years of experience as a museum professional, I specialize in providing in-depth tours across all museums and gardens in Los Angeles. I possess extensive knowledge of fine art collections and offer private tours tailored to art enthusiasts. My favorite destinations include the Museum of Ancient Art at the Getty Villa in Malibu, Western European Art at the Getty Center in Los Angeles, the Norton Simon Museum, the Huntington Museum and Botanical Gardens in Pasadena, as well as the Contemporary Art Collection at LACMA and The Broad Museum in Downtown LA. In addition to my expertise in art history, I am also a passionate floral designer @vesperaflorals with a deep admiration for Still Life Flemish Art. I practice mindful meditation, which, along with my love for beauty and nature, informs my approach to creating engaging and transformative tours. I cater to various age groups, including adults with kids, corporate teams, friends, and families. My mission is to guide you in interacting with art, inspiring and intriguing you by decoding the language of symbolism. Through the magic of art, I aim to transport audiences to different periods of history, offering a truly immersive and enriching experience. We will examine masterpieces by celebrated artists of all times, including Raphael, Botticelli, Titian, Zurbarán, El Greco, Rubens, Rembrandt, Renoir, Van Gogh, Manet, Degas, Picasso, Kandinsky , and many more. I have also designed educational programs and workshops that combine art and mindfulness, providing participants with a holistic understanding and appreciation of art. My tours are known for their interactive and personalized approach, making art accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Whether it's a deep dive into a specific period of art history or a casual stroll through a botanical garden, my goal is to foster a deeper connection between the viewer and the artwork.
