*************************************************************** Reviews from recent exhibition Painting Brooklyn Stories: Rashid oil on canvas 36" x 36" 2010
A young girl investigates her great-grandmother’s life, and in the process learns about the many other lives of immigrant workers in the local supermarket when she and her mother shop for the ingredients for her great-grand-mother’s recipe for cookies. Sophie comes away with a lot more than the ingredients for the cookies; she has learned histories of real people from around the world.
PAINTINGS FROM BROOKLYN "Local
artist Nina Talbot weaves elements of cultural heritage into her
extraordinary portraits of immigrant shopkeepers and families in
Brooklyn, with an eye for the visual elements of the setting that
evoke the country of origin, and a keen interest in the ways their
lives intersect with history."
