westmorelandmuseum in Greenberg, PA outside Pittsburgh recently acquired a painting from my color purple series: Shug Kisses Celie, 2016 silkscreen ink and acrylic on mirrored plexi mounted on wood panel.

This is a pivotal moment in the novel a bit watered down in the movie. However, life changing for me at 14yrs old when I first saw it in 1985.

Thanks to everyone for welcoming me. It’s not the size of the museum that matters it’s the vision of the collective leaders within the institution that does.
