Serendipity was in play this past week. I received a call to hang some of my work in a hurry. A Gallery, the Tryst at Inspirado was holding a reception for the Phoenix Black Chamber of Commerce.
Got the call on Thursday and delivered on Friday. Lots of people, some inquiries and you never know.

Recently I visited the Heard Museum in Phoenix Arizona and saw the exhibit:
“Remembering Our Indian School Days: The Boarding School Experience”
It’s an exhibit that pulls at your heart.
This is a righteous part of American History that exemplifies the belief that we could decide what is best for others.
I located a NY Times Article, ironically dated July 5th, 1896, about the Phoenix Indian School. In reading it, you see that “Spin” is not a new invention. 
The original Phoenix Indian School Campus is not far from the Heard. The school is no longer functioning and is undergoing renovations and one day I guess it will become a museum.
The photo on the right has me ask the question, “when you are forced to be other then who you are, what happens to your creativity?”

Here are three artists who have inspired and influenced me. I occasionally will see something in my paintings that reminds me of the many artists that I admire.
