After moving to Wilmington at a young age\, she spent most of her life here and began making art in 1935 after hearing a powerful voice telling her to “draw or die.” Her work features repeating faces\, eyes\, angels\, fantastical creatures\, and flowers that reflect her deep spiritual vision and fascination with the natural world. “My dreams are in brilliant colors\, and I paint the way I remember the dreams.” \nAbout Guest Artist Jameka PurdieWilmington native Jameka Wrisbon Purdie began creating custom\, one-of-a-kind jewelry under the name Alter Ego Designs in 2009. Her pieces range from classic to eclectic and are assembled with quality components sourced from around the world. Working with techniques such as stringing\, wire wrapping\, weaving\, and metal-making\, Jameka is an eternal student\, always exploring new methods and materials in her creative practice.
