Mariska BeekenkampWladmiroff is a veritable treasure trove. Look forward to more of her stellar webinars.

This was the finest lecture about Van Gogh that I ever heard- I learned more about his life and his art than I ever knew-

Thanks so much for a great run of super lectures at Richmond. The knowledge and skill of the lecturers - Jo, Cindy, Julia - is really awesome. Aren't we lucky?

Next year's selection looks great. I'm really looking forward to them. By the way, Sally is doing a good job of keeping everyone in order. Her work is much appreciated.

Hi Mariska

I’ve been enjoying the latest additions to your website and always like to browse from time to time. Your list of New York’s hidden gems shows that you’ve been using your time well!

Hi Mariska

Thanks for finding Lydia Bauman. She talked to us in Richmond about painting of gardens, Monet to Matisse. She was brilliant. Such an interesting, fast moving, picture-rich talk.

Very much looking forward to the rest of the series.

Susan Holder, who did the 3 Bauhaus lectures, was also very good. Knew her stuff, gentle and accessible.

All these lectures have had very good attendee numbers.

Thanks again!

Best wishes

I have just returned home after the guided tour of Strawberry Hill House followed by lunch there.

I took a friend and we both found it very interesting and enjoyable. The tour leader was very good and clear in her explanations. The only criticism we had was that it would have been good to have a little more time. We can, of course, get back there very easily and I have to say that on the whole one and a half hours is enough standing - I think I was reaching information overload too – but it mainly concerned having a chance to appreciate some of the artefacts that she’d particularly mentioned.

On another subject Hattie Bennet has delivered some very good Masterpiece lectures at Orleans House. I’m looking forward to the talks on three Christmas subjects.

Dear Mariska,

Thank you for Art Historical and all the wonderful variety of lectures, fantastically knowledgeable lecturers and events you have arranged for us.

All in locally accessible locations and embracing the mysteries of modern technology.

You have enhanced the endless pleasures of exploring Art History and its endless new eye and mind opening insights.

The opening of face to face Art historical lectures in Richmond to us is just the best pleasure of being with our AH friends again.

That hour of Art History has been an absolute saviour to me over the turbulent and out of control last few years

I am really looking forward to Friday

Dear Mariska,

Thank you for your latest email and I must say I am already looking forward to next year’s courses.
You make our Fridays special by providing so much that is stimulating and thought provoking.
Have a very happy Christmas with your family.

All best wishes

Dear Mariska,

It was lovely to see you today and I really enjoyed Stuart's session at the V &A! It was really interesting and he is always so lively and makes it such fun too! Thank you so much for another great term and all your hard work!

Have a wonderful Christmas!

Looking forward to seeing you in January!

With best wishes,
