Nancy, my grandmother, did not stay with the gallery long--she had other roles to fill and sometimes other galleries to run, but I remembered the name. As I set out to make a website of my own art, it seemed like a lonely place to deliver a monologue--my name and paintings floating in the wide world of the web saying who-knows-what to who-knows-whom. The name anchors me in an older conversation about the role of art in the everyday lives of women and men. It is a conversation that I hope to continue.

 

The Cleveland Plain Dealer's announcement of the opening of Mary and Nancy's gallery reads:

​

The gallery is pleasantly proportioned, superbly lighted and spacious enough so that objects in the constantly changing arrangements may always be presented to advantage.

​

These seem like excellent first goals for this new incarnation of the Ten-Thirty Gallery--to be pleasantly proportioned, superbly lighted and presented to advantage.

Thanks for visiting with me for a minute,
