Constantin Brancusi, The Beginning of the World, c. 1920, Dallas Museum of Art, Foundation for the Arts Collection, gift of Mr. and Mrs. James H. Clark
I encountered many hardships during my internship, like dodging masses of people while leading tours in the galleries…
Fernando and Humberto Campana, Banquete chair with pandas, designed 2006, Dallas Museum of Art, DMA/amfAR Benefit Auction Fund
…and noon-time computer crashes.
Emma-O, Japan, late 16th-early 17th century, Dallas Museum of Art, Wendover Fund in memory of Alfred and Juanita Bromberg and Cecil and Ida Green Acquisition Fund
However, I soon found my bliss researching teaching materials and leading teacher workshops.
Manjusri, Nepal, 18th century, Dallas Museum of Art, bequest of Mrs. E.R. Brown
Before I knew it, the internship was coming to a close, and I became reflective of my time….
Andrew Wyeth, That Gentleman, 1960, Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas Art Association Purchase
Now, I am looking forward and excited to be heading off to graduate school to study 18th- and 19th-century French art.
Emile Bernard, Bridge at Pont-Aven, 1891, Dallas Museum of Art, gift of the Estate of Ina MacNaughton
I’ve greatly enjoyed my time at the DMA and am so thankful to have been a McDermott Intern at the Museum this year! I want to thank you too, our educator partners, who made my job so enjoyable. Have a lovely summer!
