I
visited a sixty - three - year - old portrait painter in her
studio, traced the history of her work chronicled in her large portfolio, and watched as she
applied thin luminous layers of paint to a portrait in progress.
Working with Pelican Bomb in New Orleans to
apply the same framework to a dual - city residency program, arts writers can participate in one - week stays in both Atlanta and New Orleans, which include artist
studio visits, as well as museum, gallery, and private collection tours.
