I'm Not Afraid of Virginia Woolf by Ron Stafford https://padlet.com/versolatosc/myloves My Passions en-us 2016-09-25 01:17:48 UTC 2024-06-09 09:30:24 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Folder.png My work versolatosc https://padlet.com/versolatosc/myloves/wish/126187624  As an artist, I am a purveyor of high-quality portraits of nature, landscape, and people that capture the evocative beauty and gracefulness of the south. My works center on documenting the ever-changing world we live. My guiding philosophy for art is from the French Impressionist Camille Pissaro: "Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing."

I feel SO strongly about the values of Archives. They are the repository of a community, an institution or nation. We each have our archives at home - in photo albums clippings from papers, and school yearbooks. If you have a burning question, Ask An Archivist. #AskAnArchivist

We are a hoot. I was so glad to help Joyce Weaver at the Mint Museum of Art today for the Libraries and Archives tour as part of the Southeastern Museum Conference.
