Friendships, connections and opportunities abound when you join an art league. Justine Wollaston was a guest speaker at the Visual Art League of Lewisville a few years ago and from that moment I became a fan and a friend!
Fast forward and she is the curator for art exhibits held throughout the year at the Pilot Point Coffee House (PPCH). From August 4 – September 18th, you can see a wonderful mix of photographs by talented local artists. All art is for sale and can be taken home on the spot! The artists will have an opportunity to add a new piece of art when something gets sold.
Here’s a look at the opening reception featuring most of the artists and Justine Wollaston (left).
This series of blogs will highlight my unusual mix of photographs on display.
Title: Street Life #1
Medium: Photograph
Artist’s Statement: My old neighborhood. So many stories but this photo covers it all.
About the Photo:
This photo was taken years ago around Thanksgiving. The area is within walking distance of an old warehouse where I worked for many years. The company eventually moved from the warehouse to a nearby building. Soon after relocating, a female prostitute was found deceased by the dumpster of the old warehouse.
Ah yes, memories of the old neighborhood. So many stories but this photo covers it all. Or perhaps a little too much!
See the art in person from August 5 – September 18th at the Pilot Point Coffee House. It is available for immediate purchase. It is one of my more raw photos with limited appeal but it documents the human condition.
