I went to the heartland of America, aka Lincoln, NE to see the exhibition, Poetical Fire: Three Centuries of Still-Lifes, and give a lecture at the Sheldon Museum of Art.  The exhibition was exquisitely curated by Brandon K. Ruud, Sheldon’s Curator for Transamerican Art.  I was thrilled to see my work, Archway to Heaven hanging next to Hans Hoffmann’s abstract still-life.  The room also had works by Wayne Thiebaud, Tom Wesselman, Jackson Pollack, Janet Fish, etc.  I was honored to be included in this illustrious group.
