This exhibition was the second installment of the Connection series which is focused on regional contemporary artists with shared sensibilities. Gary Chapman and Carolyn Sherer are two critically acclaimed Alabama artists whose mixed media paintings and photographs address issues of gender identity and coming of age in the New Millennium. Chapman, a mixed-media painter, has taught painting and drawing at the University of Alabama in Birmingham since 1990 and Sherer, an independent photographer, works primarily as a documentary portraitist within thematic series.
