FEATURED SERIES
Runaway! Going, Going Gone
The mixed media painting series, Runaway! Going, Going, Gone is inspired by the discovery of "Wanted" advertisements from the 1700s and early 1800s. These ads describe runaway enslaved people of African descent in sometimes minute details. Descriptions of hair color and styles, clothes, complexion, scars, size, and demeanor conjure vivid images in real and tangible ways.
