Guest artist Della Wells will assist in this celebration by featuring her popular story dolls, paintings, drawings, collages, and assemblages.

Richards (black and white drawings and paintings), Anwar Floyd- Pruitt (found object assemblages), Mikal Floyd-Pruitt (paintings), and Ras `Ammar Nsoroma (paintings).
Although Ras `Ammar Nsoroma is recovering from a recent bicycling mishap, which left him hospitalized; recently back home, he plans to be one of the artists on hand to create his vibrantly adept pastel portraits at the art exhibition and birthday celebration for Evelyn Patricia Terry.

Also on exhibition is Terry’s extensive private collection amassed through purchases made locally, nationally, and abroad.
This diverse collection is a reflection of her interest in nurturing an eclectic art community.

A sample of other work available for purchase, include a Dorothea Taylor pastel “Fidilin W/the Notion;” a story doll by Della Wells; a William Christian collaged hand colored print, “Self Taught;” and an early 70s Terry oil painting, “Girl thinking,” influenced by Christian’s style – done after she watched him paint for several hours.
