“I’ve been teaching art history at Dawson College since 2011. My other job is at DHC Art and I’m an educator there. I’ve also worked at the Guggenheim, the MoMA, and the Museum of Fine Arts. I like art because it brings people together and creates dialogue and discussion. I kind of love the controversy that it introduces. To me, if you get people talking and thinking, then it’s a success. I find it’s very fun when people get heated about it. For example, when you bring up Marcel Duchamp, who took an object and brought it into a gallery space, some people think it’s hilarious and some people get furious, but they start to have this dialogue. For me, that’s what’s interesting. Even my husband, who’s quite interested in art, will say, ‘why is this art?’ Well, why isn’t it art? Who says it’s art and who says it’s not art? What even is art?”
