Visit VB Blog: VA MOCA Presents – Maya Lin: A Study of Water

Written By Valeria L. Palmertree

As part of my ongoing communications work with the Virginia Beach Convention and Visitors Bureau, I have the opportunity to dive (editorially speaking) into some of the city's newest and most noteworthy experiences.

In my latest story for Visit Virginia Beach, I wrote about the Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art’s current exhibition – Maya Lin: A Study of Water – an inspiring, thought-provoking and simply beautiful exploration of water's power, significance and fluidity.

A special thanks to Alison Byrne (MOCA’s Deputy Director, Exhibitions and Education) for her time and insights during my visit, and to John Mayer (Visit Virginia Beach’s Interim Director of Marketing) for always trusting me to capture the city’s compelling stories.

Enjoy the full recap via the link below – and if you get a chance to visit the exhibition for yourself, please be share to share your thoughts. Happy reading!

Valeria L. Palmertree

A self-proclaimed dreamer, grammar geek and storyteller with a serious case of wanderlust, I can most often be found somewhere near the water. In addition to beach-combing, my interests include: writing, reading, cooking, dining, listening to live music and taking in the outdoors -- preferably at the same time and in the company of my husband and golden retriever (whom you're likely to meet on these pages along the way).

Originally from Buenos Aires and raised in Miami Beach, I'm fluent in Spanish, Malbecand fútbol. Between the hours of 9 and 5, I'm a communications consultant for travel, tourism and hospitality brands. Additionally, my gig as a freelance writer has given me the opportunity to meet some pretty awesome people along the way. Currently, I'm the copy editor (and a travel contributor) for Electrify magazine. Always the optimist, I believe that connecting with and learning from one another is the surest way to break down barriers and spread some joy. Consider this my virtual olive branch of sorts. <3 xo
