Learn about Frank Lloyd Wright’s incredible life story. Join Frank Lloyd Wright expert Kim Bixler for a 40-minute multi-media presentations (plus optional Q&A) via Zoom. Kim will cover Wright’s rise from a poor Wisconsin farm-boy into one of America’s most famous architects. Wright’s journey was a remarkable one—a life defined by tragedy, hubris and scandal.
Kim Bixler’s family owned Frank Lloyd Wright’s 1908 Edward E. Boynton House in Rochester, New York, from 1977 to 1994. Kim has written and edited five other books and currently lives with her family in Los Angeles, CA. She published her latest book Growing Up in a Frank Lloyd Wright House, is featured in the PBS documentary Frank Lloyd Wright’s Boynton House: The Next Hundred Years and appeared on NPR’s Here & Now in conjunction with Wright’s 150th Birthday celebration. (Sadly, Mr. Wright couldn’t make it.)
Kim Bixler has done dozens of lectures at museums, architecture firms, libraries, schools and numerous Wright sites including Taliesin West, Unity Temple, the Darwin Martin House, Wright’s Mason City Iowa sites, the Marin County Civic Center, the Hollyhock House and more.
