Who are your favorite artists?
I try to see as much work by living artists as I can (although I like many dead ones too).
I’m a member of The Institute of Contemporary Art Boston, which is where I worked when I first got out of college. Back then, they had a small building in the Back Bay. Now they’re in a big new building out on the waterfront.
Typically I like painting and photography, but I’ve recently seen some wonderful sculpture, ceramics, and mixed-media work that blew me away. One artist in particular, Rose B. Simpson, had a great show at The ICA in 2022. The sculptures were displayed at about eye level and were so beautiful and powerful.
