[accessibleimage] Re: Seeking artwork...

Dear Donna,

I am working on a presentation recently about visually impaired artists
and in the course of that have been getting in touch with the artists  to
find out if I could use their works in my presentation. So far I have just
written to a couple of artists from a much longer list.  I thought to send
you their names. Both produce breath taking work. Traci Parks is a
photographer and  Robert Koval is a painter.

I also had an idea, you probably have already considered this, but here
goes. Have you considered a slide show (one that runs by itself ) or power
point? I thought that this might be one way to show such works. There
wouldn't be any shipping costs and as you say it is a wonderful arena for
the artists to show their work. It would also perhaps be easier for both
you and them. This method of display perhaps works best for 2-D works of
art. Here you would find many. If you need more names I can suggest more.

There has also recently been held an exhibition in Los Angeles in 2004
entitled The View from Here. That is perhaps closer to you.
