Our first show off the year has flown right by! NEW FACES OF ’23 feels fresh and continues to find fans, but the march of time means this coming Friday, March 3 is the final full day of this eye-opening exhibition. Among our 10 artists—all members of our sister organization, THE PLASTIC CLUB, and all making their respective Off the Wall debuts (hence our title)—ROBIN BROWNFIELD stands apart in her medium: mosaic tiles. Her story is equally unique. “I used to be a sociology professor. After becoming disabled, I turned to mosaic art,” she tells us. Robin’s work has received widespread exposure, including shows in New York, Las Vegas and San Francisco; locally, media attention has sometimes shone a special spotlight. “Following a FOX-29 story about my award-winning series of Black Lives Matter portraits,” continues the artist, “Tamika Palmer commissioned me to do a portrait of her daughter, Breonna Taylor, whose death, in part, launched a rebirth of the BLM movement. This portrait can be seen in the documentary ‘Bree Way: Promise Witness Remembrance.’” It’s a fitting reminder that Black History Month is also drawing to a close.
