Notă biografică
At age five, I won my first writing award: a three-foot-long fire truck with an ear-splitting siren. I've been addicted to writing ever since. Today I'm an independent researcher, freelance writer, and lecturer. My obsessions are art and art history. The challenge of figuring out how ideas and facts fit together, and then sharing what I know with others, clearly and concisely - that's what makes me leap out of bed in the morning. My current effort: a series of timelines for the 18th, 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, appearing decade by decade on my Substack account, then century by century on Amazon. Timeline 1700-1799 appeared in 2025.Janson's *History of Art*, lent to me by a high-school art teacher, was my first clue that art was more than the rock-star posters and garden gnomes that I saw in Catawissa, Pennsylvania, and that history wasn't just a disconnected series of names, dates, and statistics. Soon afterwards I read Ayn Rand's fiction and nonfiction works, and discovered that art and history - as well as politics, ethics, science, and all fields of human knowledge - are integrated by philosophy. Timeline 1700-1799 (published 2025, after being published serially on Substack) is a decade-by-decade look at all those topics and more.As an art historian I'm a passionate amateur, and I write for other passionate amateurs. I love looking at art, and thinking about art, and helping other people have a blast looking at it, too. I've written on French 19th-c. painting and philosophy, how to look at sculpture, major innovations in sculpture and painting, Central Park, and much more. *Outdoor Monuments of Manhattan: A Historical Guide* (New York University Press, 2007), which includes 54 sculptures, was described by Sam Roberts in the *New York Times* as "a perfect walking-tour accompaniment to help New Yorkers and visitors find, identify and better appreciate statues famous and obscure" (1/28/2007). I've also published a series of books on Alexander Hamilton, most recently *Financial Programs of Alexander Hamilton,* which looks at Hamilton's programs from a non-economist's point of view. My book on the Reynolds Affair earned me the designation "National Hamilton Advocate" from the Alexander Hamilton Awareness Society.
