I am an independent researcher, art lover, rabble-rouser, and traveler, as well as a former lawyer. I have a Master's in Art History from University of Kansas where I studied Medieval (European and Islamic) Art History, 17th century Dutch Art, and 20th century American and African Art. My husband and two and half dogs call Woodstock, Illinois home with me (two and a half because the cat believes he is of the canine variety).
