Francisco de Goya, Gallery Opening, November 2012
I presented this speech to Furman University's Board of Trustees at the gallery opening of Francisco de Goya's Los Caprichos prints in the Thomas Anderson Roe Art Building. My presentation focuses on the influences that instilled the works of "the two headed giant," famous for both his Baroque style paintings, and darkly satirical works from the Romanticism period.

Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI), Research Paper and Lecture, Spring 2012

As an art history major, I was given the opportunity to give a lecture for a modern art class geared towards the Greenville elderly community through OLLI. For my lecture, I drew from a research paper on the symbol of the eye in Surrealism. ​My research and analysis allowed me to present an insightful and interesting lecture that exemplified the key elements of the Surrealist movement.
