Mindy Bray spoke to my Art Appreciation class yesterday and I really enjoyed hearing a little more about her work. She is one of my favorite area artists - producing consistently intelligent and aesthetically pleasing work. I highly recommend checking out her site and her current online collaborative project called the 100 days project. She spoke about some of her influences which include James Turrell, Agnes Martin, Sol LeWitt, and Alex Katz.
