Spotted in photostream: “24” x 30″ multimedia art piece of Barack Obama with multi layer stencil work, wood staining, adhesived on stencil on paper then distressed, and wood carving. I was asked to participate in one of the most momentous occasions, An art show commemorating the Inauguration of Barack Obama .”
Thousands of works were submitted to Manifest Hope. Over the past week, we have featured the finalists and winning entries.
