For The Quarrier

"For the Quarrier" will be on exhibit in the David L. Dickirson Fine Art Gallery at Tamarack through June 12, 2016.  It is part of the Narrations exhibit.  This is an abstract acrylic and graphite painting about the textures and shapes that might be found in a quarry.  As I painted this piece, I thought about my great great grandfather, Leon Bourgeois, a stonecutter who left his home in France in 1860 to come to the United States and build a new life.  He is just one of the many creative people in my family.
