Helping Hands

We met Scott Barber when we lived in Texas last year. A fixture in the Dallas art scene, Scott is one of the handful*of respected artists in that city.

The choice to become an artist is a crazy one. We risk more as we mature in our career, as the pursuit of art flies in the face of the normative fortifications that one does in life to avoid desperate times that might come.

Scott is fighting cancer, and he needs some help:

Announcing a website to help Scott Barber during his Bone Marrow
Transplant.

Dallas Artist and Art teacher at St. Mark's School of Texas will
release a limited edition print to raise funds for cancer treatment -
his own.

Scott Barber, a Dallas artist, ironically known for paintings
inspired by cancer cells, is currently undergoing treatment for non
Hodgkins's Lymphoma awaiting a bone marrow transplant in January.
His artwork a 21" X 15" gilcee iris print on Lysonic paper
will be limited to 500 signed prints. They can be purchased through
this website.

Scott Barber, is in the collection at the Dallas Museum of Art and is
represented by the Barry Whistler Gallery in Dallas, and the James
Kelly Contemporay in Santa Fe. His work will be included in upcoming
shows at the Tucson Museum of Art, The Dallas Contemporary, and The
Barry Whistler Gallery.

*OK, two big handfuls. The artworld in Dallas is bigger than it is small.
