"Sharing Our Gifts"

February 8th- March 15, 2024 at Sampson Arts Council, Clinton NC

Our artists’ reception was truly a vibe to be felt. The support for us black artists was one for the books!! So many showed up for our artists’ reception, young and old, and we had enough food and drink for the whole night. I truly believe it's important to give our elders their flowers while they can smell them. Thank you to all who supported us and who wanted to support. I appreciate you all. The exhibit will be open until March 14th, and with such a great crowd, there may be another meet the artists’ reception. This will allow you to order prints from my website and bring them to be autographed. Black art is truly black history.
