Before her death at age 54, Spanish-Mexican painter Remedios Varo created an esoteric and visionary body of work focused on the subconscious. Nearly 60 years later, her fame is reaching its zenith. Last year, one of her works sold for $6.2 million.
I worked as a freelance research editor for The New York Times for almost eleven years —at T: The New York Times Style Magazine from January 2014 through February 2020, and at The New York Times Magazine from December 2015 through November 2024. For some of my fact-checking work, please see this page. I’m also a culture writer. You can see some of my stories on this site and via The New York Times and Interview Magazine (where they are under my maiden name).
