My father served thirty years in the United States Marine Corps.

Agnes Martin & NMWA Artist Talk
Into That Light
There is a front hall at Gallery 215 in Taos.
Thick adobe walls. Ancient wooden floors. Carvings.
Space holding silence the way only very old walls do.
Home to Untitled Orange and Yellow, 1994. Agnes Martin. Acrylic and graphite on canvas. Sixty inches by sixty inches.

She became one of the most consequential painters of the twentieth century.
Humbly, on July 18, my work steps into that hall.

They did not need to be convinced. They simply saw.
I am overjoyed. These are my people. This evening is for them….

I learned this yesterday from Cody Hartley, Executive Director of the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum. Standing in the Sheldon.
The Sheldon is one of O'Keeffe's most famous painted buildings. She lived there…
