When I studied abroad, I never expected my Leonardo da Vinci art history course to be the class I looked forward to most each week. But between the way my professor taught art like it was the most gripping drama on TV, and getting to walk the same streets in Italy where so many of these works were created, I was quickly hooked on the history all around me.

There's so much to learn from the greats, and honestly so much that connects our present to the past. I'm hoping to document and share some of the knowledge and passion I've picked up along the way, the places I've been, and the new topics I'm excited to explore.
