Other recent projects include major contributions to a large-scale catalog accompanying the Denver Art Museum exhibition, “Nick Cave: Sojourn” and a groundbreaking essay for the Western Arts Alliance on innovative bridges among classical music, indie rock and jazz.Strengths:* A creative, big-picture thinker* An ability to make connections and clarify complex inter-relationships * A network of sources and collaborators across the arts world* A strong understanding of the financial and administrative side of the arts* A well-honed eye and ear* Extensive experience with a wide range of artistic and journalistic writing* Friendly, easy-going working style Specialities:* Arts journalism – newspaper, magazine and digital* Art and classical music criticism* Art catalogs and essays for museums and galleries * Writing and editing for artist websites and artist statements
