Get What You Came For

Art history class at Boston Latin Academy is where it all started in my adolescence. In this class, we learned about things as disparate as the history of Chinese calligraphy, the artistry of American quilting, and Impressionist painters. A seemingly tedious task of selecting three artists’ names out of a hat would have a tremendous impact on my life.
As luck would have it, one of the three “artists” I randomly selected was Frank Lloyd Wright. At age 12, after researching and learning about Mr. Wright and his work in the fascinating field of architecture as both a science and an art, I decided that I would become an architect when I grew up. I considered no other careers from this moment on.
