AMDG.  “I always knew I liked these things and I knew they were beautiful, but now I know why.”  

In a special sneak peek episode, Kolbe Academy team members Carol Gilpin, Stephanie Foley, and Therese Prudlo join the Kolbecast to discuss the brand new art history and architecture book. The trio discusses the layout of the new art book, revealing the thought process and design work that went into the new text. “It’s like we’re having a conversation with that artist… a real human connection,” Stephanie reflects.
