Havana-based Cuban artist Sandra Ramos is in many people's opinions, the leading contemporary Cuban artist in the world, and later this month, her solo exhibition titled Exodus, running from October 23 - December 27, opens in Norfolk's leading independently owned commercial fine arts gallery: Mayer Fine Art.
MFA, which also represents my work, is by far the top fine arts venue in the Tidewater area, and its hardworking owner, the talented Shiela Giolitti, daughter of the legendary comic book artist Alberto Giolitti has been preparing for this, Ramos' second ever solo show in the USA, for a long time.

I'm driving down for this opening; see ya there!
Great to read Rousseau's review of Goodwin and Shapiro's work at the Gallery at Iona. One clarification, the Gallery at Iona hosts three Artist in Residence each year and three Special Guest Artists. The gallery is open 9-5 Monday - Friday. If you would like a tour or opportunity to meet the artist contact the gallery director, Patricia Dubroof pdubroof@iona.org
