An interior designer practicing in the Virginia countryside near Washington, D.C., Barry Dixon has taken his own brand of warmly hospitable Southern design style to projects around the world. A childhood spent abroad in exotic locales such as India, South Africa, and French Polynesia affords his work a singular, global perspective. Believing that the best interiors reflect the natural realms that surround them—the view through the window—Dixon will discuss "Through the Looking Glass or 'Looking Through the Glass'...Inspirations From the Natural World Around Us," exploring and explaining how he liaisons inside/outside through images of his published and soon-to-be-published work.

This is the first talk in Evergreen Museum & Library's spring lecture series, The House Beautiful. The talk will be followed by a reception with the speaker.
