From C Farrell Johnson Fine Arts, LLC, Newsletter

Hope I'll Join the Band

In 2013, the Montgomery County Arts & Humanities Council awarded Cynthia Farrell Johnson an individual artist grant to create a body of work.  It will allow her to produce paintings and prints inspired by 10 different jazz musicians.  The idea for the proposal was sparked by her 2010 project that interpreted a number of spirituals her late father sang.  One of them, Hope I'll Join the Band, got her thinking about ways to honor jazz artists who had influenced or inspired her at various stages of her life. This year, as the project unfolds, Cynthia will provide updates. Visit www.cfjfinearts.com for your distinctive fine art reproductions for all occasions.
