Betty Douglas Brings "Soul" to BNY, Tina Brewer Shines in New York and LaVerne Kemp goes Smithsonian

WOV MEETING @ BNY STEEL PLAZA

For WOV's last business meeting on April 11, we decided to take a field trip to see our BNY exhibition in downtown, Pittsburgh (see the previous post). We were delighted to see member Elizabeth Asche Douglas who came in from Sewickley, Pa for the occasion. She brought with her a copy of The Soul's Twins: Emancipate your Feminine and Masculine Archetypes by Jean Benedict Raffa. One of Elizabeth's beautiful digital art pieces was selected as one of the illustrations for it.  Betty was also recently honored by CMU in the pages of its's Alumi Newsletter, who remarked how Elizabeth entered Carnegie Tech, as it was known then, at the age of 16. Betty continues to be a gift to Women of Visions through her continued support and with her on-going accolades and accomplishments in the arts. We've also learned that member, Tina Brewer has a quilt that has been curated into Eric Shiner's (former Director of the Andy Warhol Museum) selected works in EXPOChicago at the De Buck Gallery. Catch Brewer's work in the web page's opening slide show. In Craft Optimism, an online show and sale curated by the Smithsonian Women, Laverne Kemp Studios is at its best among star makers from all across the country. Congrats to these three wonderful WOV women!
