Summer City Exhibit at Equity Gallery

 

I’m thrilled to have the piece below included in the Summer City group show @equitygallery 245 Broome St, NYC. This exhibit is part of an exchange program between The New York Artists Equity Association and the Woodstock Artists Association @waamart (of which I’m a member). The opening is June 20 @ 6:00 PM (which, unfortunately, I can’t attend) and the show is up until July 20. NYC friends, I hope you can check it out!

Osama Bin Laden

On May 2nd, 2011, America breathed a sigh of belief. A decade after the World Trade towers fell, the mastermind of this horrific event had finally been killed. As the Navy Seals were taking Osam Bin Laden down, President Obama and his staff monitored their progress from the White House situation room. An iconic photo capturing this moment appeared in papers the next day. Until a week ago, the clipping was affixed to my refrigerator. It inspired me to draw this charcoal portrait, which is 16" by 22".  I'm grateful that a bit of closure to a horrible chapter in US history was delivered on that day.
