Anne Lyman Powers

I just saw that Childs Gallery in Boston is having a show of Anne Lyman Powers work. All I know about her so far is that she was born in 1922, started her work in post-world war II, and is considered a representational expressionist.

Lori Ann Levy-Holm

Lori Ann Levy-Holm is a teacher, artist, author and graduate of the Hartford University MFA in Illustration program. Her site is focused on a book she wrote and illustrated, "Courage is Contagious," about a girl who led a school walkout in Virginia in 1961. These three illustrations are from the book. I love the dramatic points of view disappearing into white backgrounds, intriguing compositions, and sense of calm and determination.

Michal Truelsen

I love Michal Truelsen's new prints outside her Western Ave. Studio. They seem both outer space and storm related, the compositions are dynamic, and to me they are another portrait of outer events describing an inner experience.

Lies and War by Barbara Haack

Barbara Haack's sculpture, Lies and War, was in a Newburyport Art Association show in 2006. The black garden boxes, filled with black gravel and black tire tread driven through with nails, seemed a silent, succinct statement of what we are organically, horribly growing with wars in the Middle East and our dependence and focus on other people's oil.

Agnes Martin by Annie Leibovitz

This is a portrait of painter Agnes Martin from the book,'Annie Leibovitz At Work'. In the book, Leibovitz describes Martin as a Buddhist, who believes that art is an interaction with the divine. She asked Martin what she does every morning in the studio, to which Martin answered "I sit here and wait to be inspired." This portrait shows Martin (and Leibovitz?) perhaps at that moment of inspiration.
I love that she tries to portray an inner experience with an exterior event.
