Ever stood in front of a famous painting and wondered, “What am I supposed to do here?”

In this first episode of my new Wander in Wonder series, I’m diving into how to truly appreciate art — even if you don’t consider yourself an expert (I certainly don’t!). Inspired by a class I took at Notre Dame on Theology, Art and Beauty, I share simple, thoughtful ways to engage with a work of art beyond just snapping a photo and moving on.

You’ll learn:

  • A powerful question to ask beauty itself
  • How to slow down and see a painting (including what to look for)
  • The difference between what the artist intended and what the piece says to you
  • How to turn a museum visit into a deeper, more meaningful experience — solo or with your kids
  • My favorite immersive art experience and why you should try one near you

Plus, I’ll walk you through how I’ve put these tips into practice — from the Louvre to my local museum with my 21-year-old son — and how it changed the way we both see art.
