Herland is proud to present …
�The Sober Truth�, an art exhibit of the works of Deborah Dukes. Saturday, November 13, 2004, 3 - 6 pm.
Deborah earned her Fine Arts degree in 1988 from the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, Maryland, worked as a graphic artist for many years thereafter; she was not interested in “art for art’s sake” until she discovered black & white photography many years later. From there she started dabbling in collage work and mixed media and found real joy in abstract art. Deborah says, �Throughout my life I have battled alcoholism and in 1998 I took my last drink. I am free of the physical action of picking up the bottle but sometimes still battle with the demons that plagued me during my 17 years of addiction. What I cannot express in words, I can try to express on canvas. There is pain & joy, fear & Courage, despair & hope. This is who I am and what I believe. This is the “Sober Truth”.
There will be a reception at Herland beginning at 3pm on Saturday, November 13, 2004, to unveil these impressive works. They will be available for purchase, with a generous percentage of the proceeds going to Herland. We hope you will stop by. The reception will be followed by:
Poetry Night at Herland, Saturday, November 13, 2004, 8 pm - following the Reception for �The Sober Truth�.
The evening of poetry reading will be anchored by dynamic slam poet Lynnsey Weber from Norman. You may remember Lynnsey from Herland�s anniversary concert last year when she opened for Tret Fure, and totally wowed the audience. In addition to Lynnsey, all of our November Voice poets are invited to attend and read their poetry, as well as a few others who missed the deadline for submission.
Both events are free and open to the public.
