Hubert Jackson is an award winning acrylic mixed-media painter whose current works address the fallen and their spirits on the Civil War battlefields of Virginia. A Howard University, Master of Fine Arts graduate, Jackson enjoyed studying with James Porter, Lois Jones, Ed Love, Jeff Donaldson, and Starmanda Bullock. In the early ‘70s, he participated in the historical national movement of community based mural projects under the advisement of Hughie Lee-Smith. Well traveled, exhibited and collected, Jackson retired after 34 years of teaching art in the DC public schools.
Janie McGee, a professional artist for 47 years documenting history and struggles with soul, heart, and spirit. Her mixed-media paintings express her love for history and hope for the future, both combined to create art that tells a story.
Jerome Smith, a self-taught artist, brings us small yet powerful works. Having grown up on the streets of Philadelphia, he turned to art and now feels blessed by being creative, an artist. His paintings and drawings inspire us to see the beauty around us and not be overwhelmed by the dark cloak of hate.
