“Some who have inquired about the event, Waxing Poetic, (information in previous post). My paintings are part of this multidimensional experience that involves performance of poetry and song. The paintings are not being exhibited separately. However, my other work is often available for viewing (for free!) at galleries throughout the Philadelphia area. I would be happy to add you to my mailing list so that you receive information about future shows. I have lots of thoughts re. the relationship of time and art which I will not expound about here but this exhibition/performance is going to be worth every nickel. . . .” – Laura Pritchard
