• • Artist Rosemary Gallick, who lives in Centreville, VA and teaches art history at Northern Virginia Community College, has titled her show "American Women: Voices of the Past & Present" and has captured on canvas notable females such as the First Ladies Jacqueline Kennedy and Michelle Obama, divas of the silver screen Mae West and Marilyn Monroe, and entertainers such as Janis Joplin, Madonna, Dolly Parton, Tina Turner, and more. Inspired also by political theatre, Gallick painted Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin, Nancy Pelosi, and Sonia Sotomayor.
• • The heads of the singers, for instance, have been rendered mostly in acrylic with touches of mixed media for special effects. "The emotionally charged lines and dazzling colors embrace the exuberance of the individual performer," Gallick said.
