A Curated Look at Living in the Nation’s Capital
I recently spent an evening at the National Museum of Women in the Arts to hear photographer Tawny Chatmon speak about the work she created for the museum’s current exhibition. Afterward, while walking through the galleries, I unexpectedly came across Frida Kahlo’s Self Portrait. Frida has long been one of my favorite artists, and there was a quiet irony in encountering her work just after hearing Tawny Chatmon, a contemporary artist I admire, speak about her own.
With March marking Women’s History Month, it feels like a fitting time to reflect on the boldness it takes for women to trust their creative voice and share it with the world. This month I am highlighting two women artists whose work I admire for that same boldness of vision and the intentional way they use art to express how they see the world.

‘Going Analog’ is one of the Year’s Biggest Wellness Trends
A few years ago, I created a music room in my home with nothing more than a record player and an extensive vinyl collection. It has since become a space where we slow down, listen, and reflect, a welcome contrast to the noise of everyday life. This article explores the growing “going analog” wellness trend and the return to slower, more tactile rituals at home.
