Humor on the Wall

Описание: What happens when a crisis advisor surrounds herself with humor?

In this episode of Private Views: Art Seen from the Inside, Rhonda Barnat shares the works she lives with and the stories behind why they matter.

Rhonda is a Senior Counselor at H/Advisors Abernathy and one of the country’s leading crisis management advisors. She has guided corporations and non-profits through defining public moments, helping institutions protect reputation while navigating complex, high-stakes challenges.

At home, however, the walls tell another story.

Needlepoint. Detective Cat. Original Dr. Seuss prints. Miss Piggy reimagined in Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Pulp Fiction. A framed reference to Mark Twain’s “cat in the ruff.” Humor appears again and again. Not as decoration, but as philosophy.

In this conversation, we explore how art can carry family history and cultural memory while still making room for irreverence. How delight and depth are not opposites. And how living with art becomes a quiet form of resilience.

Guest: Rhonda Barnat
