Girl in Front of Blackboard, Gloria Baker Feinstein
Gloria Baker Feinstein’s opening is a week from Friday. She’s one of only a few photographers I represent, and the best figurative photographer I’ve ever encountered. The show will focus on children who live in the St. Mary Kevin Orphanage in Kajjansi, Uganda. All of the kids there either lost their parents to AIDS or war; some of the kids have AIDS themselves.
This is a reality the harshness of which few of us can imagine. Hence the show will in part be a fund-raiser for the orphanage, which desperately needs funds. The above photo, along with 23 others, will be displayed. I expect a very strong turnout, and plan on sending a significant check to the orphanage afterward.
What a special show this will be; I wish you and Gloria all the best with it. It’s fabulous to see art raising awareness and I hope the funds generated can make a difference in some way to these little ones.
