In a recent project, I collaborated with the Vicksburg National Military Park to create a historic Civil War painting underscoring my love of history, commitment to the city of Vicksburg, and my continued narrative of our shared humanity. Determined is the first in an annual series of my paintings that will commemorate the Civil War. The first image I selected to paint is of Sergeant Joseph Dore, 7th New York State Militia. The VNMP will be creating educational information around the piece.

Thank you to those who have given so much support to my traveling exhibition, Blues at Home: Mississippi’s Living Blues Legends! My environmental portraits featuring 31 of Mississippi’s living blues legends have combined art and music in an exciting way, often allowing the musicians to be present at the openings and share their personal Blues history creating memorable nights for all! Also, a selection of paintings and voices from my Backyards and Beyond: Mississippians and Their Stories documenting the first year after Hurricane Katrina on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, can be experienced permanently at the Ground Zero Hurricane Museum in Waveland, MS.
