My Painting Lovelace, in the permanent collection of the Ogden Museum of Southern Art in New Orleans is included in their stunning exhibition “Knowing Who We Are: A 20th Anniversary Exhibition. I travelled to NOLA for the opening on January 27th and I would like to extend my gratitude to the people at the Ogden museum, especially Bradley Sumrall, my artists friends in NOLA, and all the folks who extended their hospitality to me during my stay in New Orleans. I hope to visit again soon. The exhibition will be on view until July 23, 2023.

This exhibition examines the development of visual arts in the American South from the 19th century to the present. In doing so, it shifts focus from antiquated stereotypes of region, period, style and subject to address a contemporary understanding of varied histories reflecting broader inclusivity and representation.”
