Hello! I’m Dr. Eleanor Vance, an art historian and curator with a passion for exploring the intersection of historical and contemporary art, particularly within the realm of graphic arts. I’ve dedicated my career to understanding and sharing the stories behind visual creations, from the old masters to cutting-edge digital artists. My work aims to bridge the gap between different artistic eras, offering new perspectives on familiar themes and discovering hidden gems along the way.
My journey into the world of art began in my youth, captivated by the power of images to communicate complex ideas and evoke profound emotions. This early fascination led me to pursue a career where I could delve deeper into the history, theory, and practice of art.
You can explore some of my thoughts on the use of religious iconography in modern art or read my analysis on the symbolic meaning of animals in graphic design.
