Poor Little Black Boy Walking down the street. Munching a bag of Skittles. Don't know whom he'd meet. Ran into the Devil. Looked into his eyes. Got a hateful look. And a bullet by surprise.

Hello Faith:

           Just in case you do not remember me, I met you through my wife Valerie Bell-Bey and Grace Ingleton.

Thank you for the beautiful works of art you have created over the years for they inspired my work and helped me realize the value  of FINE  ART. Your work played a big role during my thesis for my BFA. So again, it is an honor to be able to contact you and thank you.

Happy new year mother Faith

Ms. Ringgold. 

 I need to tell you what an inspiration, and impression you have bestowed upon me.  I have love the feel of fiber from a child.  

It is true I started drawing at a very young age.  But the feel of that old channel spread on my bed remains with me always. 

 I can remember the awe struck feeling of watching my great-grandmother while she made those wonderful quilts.  The smell of the old Polaroid pictures and the stinky stick remains forever in my mind. 

For YEARS, all I could see in my mind's eye was how to merge them together.....And then, there was you and your wonderful work!! 

THANK YOU!! Thank you for showing me I was not crazy and YES ANGLO SAXON PEOPLE, Quilts can be Art!!!

Ms. Ringgold,

Your work is inspiring, and I have enjoyed researching about you as an artist. My design course just completed a collage project, and Ishared your website with my entire class. I saw eyes opening (aha moments) as they saw the "Tar Beach" series.
