    Georgia O'Keeffe

    Georgia O'Keeffe

    Georgia O'Keeffe is known as the mother of Modernism; she created a vast body of work, always finding a novel way to express what she wanted to say through her art. After talking about Mary Cassatt, we were both drawn back to her story and thought you might like to revisit her, too. From 2018

    Mary Cassatt

    Mary Cassatt

    Mary Cassatt had always been an independent thinker. But once she became a member of the radical group of artists known as the Impressionists, she sidestepped expectations of gender (and the traditional rules of artistic expression) and forged a singular style that was all her own.

My favorite people to have tea with

I’ve been listening for 8 years now, and the quality has stayed consistently wonderful. I actually wrote to them back in college and got starstruck when they wrote back! This podcast was a very influential piece of media for me in my early 20s. It had me thinking about adversity, legacy, my own life passions, and academia. I appreciate the accurate information from trusted sources. I feel like I’m having a cup of tea with my favorite professor! Thank you for the years of knowledge, love, and history!

Where is she?

When will you ladies cover Catherine de' Medici? You must admit, she’s long overdue! I’m getting all of my historical info on her from other sources, and I’d love to hear it from you two! Please? 😊
