About the Author

I am a freshman at Princeton University. I created this site as part of Dr. Kay Chubbuck's writing seminar, Impressionism and The Making of Modern Art. I undecided about my major, but am considering majoring in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. I'm a native of Great Falls, Virginia and enjoy playing clarinet in Princeton University's Orchestra.

I was first exposed to the works of Pierre Bonnard in a visit to the 2002 Phillips Collection exhibition "Pierre Bonnard: Early and Late." I became aware colorism through the work of Louise Sennesh, who considers herself a modern colorist and influenced by Bonnard.

Enjoy!
