Working at Head Start mural since Jan. 23
Flowers galore!
Working on the alphabet blocks
Art Center artists Elaine Bedell and Pablo Rivera
With Art Center artists Marsha Hatcher and Mary Atwood.
Day one, drawing the mural sketch. Yes it was frigid cold in Florida on Jan. 23. The Art Center teamed up with HandsOn Jax and volunteers to work on a mural covering the entire module in the center of a low income housing area off Golfair on the northside of Jacksonville. TAC artists have been giving their Saturdays up to accomplish this mural and work in the community. Stay tuned for updates and the final mural revealed.Wednesday, January 20, 2010

Through Our Eyes - Each One Teach One
Artist Marsha Hatcher and myself did similar images of Cayenne Pepper Pickers from our trip to Nigeria.
Marsha's image is in acrylic painting with white paint only. Mine is a linoleum print.
My mentor was artist Cookie Davis. I put my "Uwacu" print into 3-D in clay putting the patterns of the skirt "carved" in the clay.
Cookie's sculpture is on the left and mine is on the right. This show is at the Ritz Theatre and LaVilla Museum. It opened Nov. 19, 2009 and goes to July 30, 2010.Tuesday, September 01, 2009
