These are so powerful. Thank you, Jim.
Thanks also for the article.
For anyone who is interested in the work of artist, Margaret Bowland, but was unable to attend her recent artist talk at *a pop-up project: please note that the Smithsonian filmed the talk and will likely post segments on the website of the National Portrait Gallery in the upcoming months. It was great!
Thank you for sharing, I love her work, very inspiring.
I love Margaret Bowland's work! It resonates on a conceptual level and is technically flawless. The perfect example of using great artistic tools to explore the human condition. Thank you for sharing.
Margaret's work is amazing. Thought provoking and beautifully rendered paintings. Thank you for posting an article about her. We should also thank Amy for hosting the pop-up project and hosting a talk with Margaret. I've seen the shows and am sending everyone to see the works in person while they are in DC.
