I have developed and presented lectures, exhibitions, articles, and essays for The Knowledge Point, Shenandoah University’s Historical and Tourism Center. These include not only my own scholarship on the art and imagery of the Shenandoah Valley from ca. 1840 to 1940, but programs and lectures by visiting artists and art historians--the annual Virginia Wojno-Forney Art Lecture Series. Co-sponsored by various SU entities, the art lecture series includes speakers every fall, in October, and spring, in March and April.
