Virginia Lamar Spencer: Drawings
My cousin Virginia is an artist.
She went to Rhode Island School of Design and has her BFA in Studio Art with and emphasis in Textiles. That said, her drawing skills are wonderful. She's got a real eye for composition and color.
A lot of the imagery in her work is family related. She loves nature and animals (she grew up on an urban farm for all intents and purposes) and organic forms/objects. When I look at her artwork I see my family history put together in a way that makes sense to me coming from her; I understand (without being able to put words to it) that this is her understanding/interpretation/dialogue of her family and personal history. It makes me love being part of her family. It makes me happy that we share blood. I like her blood.
