Art in Embassies

Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire is almost 6,000 miles and a world away from Chicago, where I live. And yet a part of me will be there for several years. In December of 2007 I got word that Ambassador Wanda Nesbitt had chosen three of my pieces (Peace, Windows: Night, and Windows: Summer), to hang in the American Embassy in Ivory Coast. She stated that she had chosen my work because it used so much indigo, and indigo dyeing is important in Côte d’Ivoire, and because the windows theme had struck an immediate chord with her and the work she is trying to accomplish. I am thrilled to be part of this program.
