Heather Freeman: Personal Demons
May 7 - July 3, 2011
Opening reception begins May 7, 7:00 pm.
After collecting confessions of "personal demons" through the social networking site of Facebook, Ms. Freeman found that these personal demons often pointed, surprisingly, to unique qualities of that particular person's character. Through the use of juxtaposed imagery and visual symbols she attempts to "celebrate these self-perceived insecurities as great unbeknownst strength."

Rickie Lee Jones was the Grammy winner for Best New Artist in 1980. She rocked the culture of singer-songwriterdom with her refusal to conform to the staid and careful eloquence of the folk rock generation that came before her. Neither punk nor pop, she wove a jazz-and-R&B thread of her own devising.
