Posters of "The Mother."

Today I got posters from Cafepress on "The Mother." This is a piece that got a lot of attention at my artist reception. It is an illustration for an allegorical story that I wrote for class. Later, it was changed into poem format. There is something about this painting that seems to draw some people. I need to explore this and see if I can expand on this interest.

In the mean time "Patient 444 and Other Short Stories" is illustrated. Many of the illustrations are offered in color on  Cafepress on coffee mugs and tote bags etc..

Be sure to visit my web site and look at this large collection of items on the Cafepress link. My web site is at www.jlamoreux.com.

My Personal Section On The VSA Nevada Web Site

I have a section on the VSA Nevada web site that I'd like you to explore. The URL is at:

http://www.vsanevada.org/jmlamoreux.htm

In it you can learn about my art work with samples to observe. I'm very proud of my contributions to this project.

The VSA Nevada is dedicated to do the following in this quote:

"The mission of VSA arts of Nevada is to provide quality programs throughout the state of Nevada integrating all the arts into the lives and education of children, youth, and adults, especially those who are disadvantaged or have a disability.'

"Quality experiences in the arts, designed to engage participants in the development of artistic skills and expressions, are the foundation of the VSA arts of Nevada program.'

"The arts, as a part of education, leisure and recreation, provide a viable, effective way of teaching special skills to individuals with disabilities. It can be a chance to succeed, a chance to build self-control and self-esteem, and a chance to focus on ability rather than disability.'

"The arts can serve as an important link for individuals with disabilities to experience the expressive, aesthetic and therapeutic elements within themselves and others through their capacity to create."
