My Art at the Heart of the Home ~~ the Student-built PGCPS Home!

I trekked over to PG County yesterday to attend the reception for the PGCPS students who built and decorated a primo house.  I was delighted to find that three of my works had been incorporated into the kitchen/breakfast nook — the heart of the home.  (And some of my pieces also snagged prime placement in other essential spaces — the powder rooms!  Well, someone’s had to go there! LOL). My works could also be found in the office and upstairs hallway.

Here are a few pictures from the exuberant celebration, where students, parents, grandparents, builder/mentors, teachers, student musicians, and the press mingled and munched.

My Art for PGCPS Student House Project & Upcoming Reception

Prince George’s County Public School interior design students selected the following artworks of mine for display in the student-built house that opens to proud parents and friends next Thursday, May 6, and to realtors on May 8-9. The young folk chose oil paintings, water color paintings as well as digital art.  They also used artwork from the Black Panther movie, an idea I’d suggested for the children’s rooms.

I am truly honored to have been chosen to participate in this wonderful project.  Kudos to the young folks for their hard work and obviously effective results, as pictured in my last blog post.

Providing Art for Fab Students of Prince George’s County Public Schools!!

Every year students from Prince George’s County Public Schools build houses — YES, HOUSES!  The teens serve as carpenters, floor installers, plumbers, electricians, etc. and even decorate the completed house with rented furniture so realtors can show & sell it.  (Proceeds fund the next year’s project.)

This year, rather than use rental art, they recruited an artist — me!! — and a photographer, to supply the art.  How cool is that!!  I pulled together photos of about 200 of my works, from oils, to water media and digital art, and invited my 7 Palettes friends to contribute as well.  The students then selected a number of pieces to complement their visions for the various rooms.

Here’s the fabulous 2018 house.  Next post, I’ll show you the art pieces the students chose.
