Paris art exhibit/talk

A woman who is a painter had a talk/art exhibit today, and it also happened to be in Paris 1900. She gave us a tour of her gallery, and spoke abut what inspires her to paint, the amount of time she has been painting, projects she is working on, as well as showing off some things she made for second life, like the dress she was wearing, and gave a little deeper meaning to each painting, that was "hung" in the gallery.This is a good idea for exposure to fine arts and would be a good educational experience for an art class. In fact, it said something about Hunter College in the description, but I couldn't figure out exactly how it was affiliated. Anyway, it was a great experience, there were a lot of nice paintings, and I got something out of it I wouldn't have if I only saw the paintings. She also gave a lengthy part of the discussion to the history (Caribbean islands) that is the focus of her paintings.
