Cass Walker:  Normal American child of divorce, brother, and painter at 27 Bret Hart suffered a traumatic brain injury in 1993.  This work by his sister, Cass Walker, documents their family's gradual redefinition of a new norm, one achieved and sustained with quiet heroism and daily effort.

Kimura-2.jpgJoan Kimura’s art is her journal.  It expresses her feelings and experiences, past and present. Kimura does not preconceive.  She adds and deletes elements and uses media as needed.  At the end of the day she questions herself: “Did I learn, did my visual vocabulary increase, is there energy in my marks, should I  keep the work or should be it be discarded?”
