Coffee with an author

Frankfort painter Ellie Harold traveled to Paris in 2022, a pilgrimage to view an exhibition of paintings by Impressionist Claude Monet and Abstract Expressionist Joan Mitchell.

The souvenirs from that trip weren’t T-shirts and tote bags, but questions, including: What does it mean to be a “real” artist?

Harold explores that question in the resulting book, “Monet, Mitchell & Me: A Painter’s Pilgrimage.”
