More Freedom Riders! Opening June 28 in Nashville TN

I'm working hard in the studio on more large format Freedom Riders, trying to find new exciting ways to combine the collage with the painted imagery ... have to get somewhere soon with it though, cause hte show is coming up and coming up fast: June 28 in Nashville TN, the home of the Freedom Riders!

To the right here is an 18 year old Charles Cox (who apparently also went by Carl Fox), a Jackson teen who was part of SNCC and was sent to Parchman prison for trying to desegregate a lunch counter in Jackson. Did he know he was making history at 18? He feels so determined, calm and strong in his eyes as he looks at his jailor taking his picture. 

I'll be adding a picture gallery of the new work shortly.
