Life in Color is a collection of Summer Clinkscale’s interpretations of current events and her view of the world at large. Her interactions with others serve as her greatest inspiration-- bringing those feelings to light through her work. The collection brings her passion for art to life in the form of paintings, drawings, and digital work on canvas and paper. Clinkscale utilizes graphite, charcoal, acrylic and colored pencils to produce her work.

Life In Color opens at the Anacostia Arts Center on November 20th and runs through January 9, 2021. The opening reception ceremony will place online via Facebook Live on November 20th at 5PM. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Sunday by appointment. Contact Jess Randolph to schedule appointments via email. You can come by and see the work in person Tuesday through Sunday from noon to 5PM.
