Mary Okin, Ph.D. Candidate, published the essay, "PInk Note-The Novelette," in conjunction with the Smithsonians' Freer Sackler digital publication accompanying the exhibition Whistler in Watercolor. Mary was one of a group of emerging American art scholars the Freer Gallery of Art invited to visit the museum and participate in an immersive, four-day study of the Freer's unparalleled collection of James McNeill Whistler’s watercolors. She and her fellow scholars each selected a watercolor by Whistler and wrote a short essay about the work for inclusion in this publication.
