The coolest art piece I’ve seen was of Aretha Franklin, by Haitian born artist, Charles Jean-Pierre. It captures her beauty and talent, perfectly. The colors are earthy and soothing, just like the many recordings of the diva. The fashionista in me would LOVE to see the designs at the Sugarloaf Festival!
One of my favorite pieces is the neon United States in the National Portrait Gallery! I love how it combines technology and art. The colors catch my eye and grab my attention right away. It would be amazing to see some artists include that in their pieces!
