Painter Laura Wheeler Waring did not see portraits of people who looked like her, her family members, or Black Americans that she admired on museum walls, so she created them. Today, you can see the work of a woman who opened a door for herself and others on the pages of BEAUTIFUL SHADES OF BROWN, THE ART OF LAURA WHEELER WARING, illustrated by Felicia Marshall, and also on the walls of the The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the National Portrait Gallery USA, the PAFA.
Her talent can’t be denied. Kisses from PARIS!!
