undiscovered artists

Last week there was a fine feature article in our local paper on an upcoming gallery show. So I had to go. The article titled "Undiscovered Artists", unrecognized talent in Sarasota's predominantly black community - was tenderly written by Carrie Seidman.  Her choice feature - a brother and sister who are very close - Pete Simmons (photographer) and Mary Mack (artist).  My particular interest was Pete, who publicly, had never displayed his photos before.
