I went to the Georgia O’Keefe MOMA show during April and really enjoyed it. After listening to Dr Hirsh’s lecture I had a much deeper appreciation of the show. She gave a really wonderful presentation, I hope to go back and see it again as her expertise will definitely enrich my experience. Dr Hirsh is one of my favorite experts for helping me learn about and understand art. She has an extraordinary gift of delivery to go along with her vast knowledge and experience. Highly recommend all of her lectures
Dr. Hirsh is a fabulous presenter. She shares so much information in such a conversational relaxed manner that it is easy to comprehend all the wonderful information she shares. I learned a lot probably more than if i had seen the exhibit in person.

Jennie never disappoints ... a fascinating seminar, understanding Georgia O'Keefe from an entirely different perspective.
