\"e\"\u00a0What are you reading lately?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"e\"\u00a0I just finished reading\u00a0Strapless<\/em>\u00a0by Deborah Davis which is about John Singer Sargent\u2019s painting “Portrait of Madame X” and right now I am reading\u00a0The Old Man and the Sea<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Everyday is an Atheist Holiday<\/em>\u00a0by Penn Jillette. I enjoy reading and started a book club last year to rope my friends into spending their evenings talking about books.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"e\"\u00a0<\/span>What hangs above your mantel?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"e\"I just hung a stipple ink drawing my dad completed of the Nautilus from\u00a020,000 Leagues Under the Sea<\/em>. Since I was very young, I have known that art would be an important part of my life as I watched my dad work in his \u201csanctuary,\u201d at his drawing table in the basement. I love having his artwork in my house now. Over my other mantel hangs a WWII era Japanese naval katana which belonged to my fianc\u00e9\u2019s grandfather.

\n\"design\u00a0What is your favorite building in Utah?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"designPerhaps I am only using this response as a plug for the Arts Council, but I have really grown to love and appreciate the Art Barn and all of the truly amazing programs and services that come out of there. I love going to work in such a neat building and I am very grateful to be a part of the Arts Council.<\/p>\n

\"e\"\u00a0If you could choose one person to paint or sculpt your portrait who would it be?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"e\"I am going with Frans Hals. I love 17th century Dutch art and his portraits make me smile. I\u2019m sure that in another life I was an art historian spending my days in dusty old libraries analyzing details of paintings from the Dutch Golden Age.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
