Twenty Women Artists: NOW is a
show opening in March at OMA and this interview with Manuelita Brown by Dr. Denise Rogers was introduced
by the curator of the exhibition Alessandra
Moctezuma
I live in Cardiff by the Sea and for years I attended weekly
yoga classes by a lovely local instructor Emmy Garnica. Manuelita Brown and her
husband were often fellow movers and stretchers along with a hardy group of
Silver Agers. Of course I know of Manuelita’s work and have visited her
studio/home on more than one occasion when it was open to the public. But it
was educational to see her work presented in this slide show which put more
context to a life-time of work in response to personal experiences.
It was also fun to see some personal family photos and a
very early painting on a glass bottle that survived from 1949!
