Earlier this year a call for artists was sent out for a new exhibition to be held at the  University of Massachusetts Dartmouth at the Star Store building entitled PARREEEE!!!!!

When I received the prospectus I immediately hit the studio and conjured up past feelings emotions trips and memories of my thoughts dreams and realities of Paris and French culture on a whole and... created my offering for the show. I then sent in an application and was accepted into the show :-)

Lejeune, Anthony J. Miraglia, Elena Peteva, Lisa Redburn, Suzanne Schireson, Marc St. Pierre, Ray Veary and Alison Wells

"The Last time i saw paris" Acrylic, charcoal and graphite on paper 40"x30"
While brainstorming for this piece I asked myself the questions, when was the last time you saw Paris? and what was it like? So I reminisced back to 2005 when I visited Paris briefly for a weekend after spending 6 weeks in Brittany. It was a rainy day that echoed the layering of the Parisian urban landscape. In doing my research for this piece I discovered the 1940’s song “The Last Time I saw Paris” lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein and composed by Jerome Kern which further influenced this piece and its title.

“The last time I saw Paris
Her heart was warm and gay
I heard the laughter of her heart in every street café…”
