Fashion Is as Fashion Does: Lou Stovall

Fashion is not the overvaluing of the superfluous rather it is a pointed attempt to recognize the beauty that exists all around us. The fashion minded individual steadily seeks to interject beauty whenever and wherever possible. The result is a flourish in daily dialogue, an individual pink peony on the breakfast table, a jeweled butterfly at the shoulder, a whimsical Lou Stovall print above the bed. Visit Lou Stovall

"On the Greening of the Artist" an excerpt
by Lou Stovall

It is a magnificent power that we have
to find beauty and charm in things.
To make special of a room that could only be reached
from the back of the kitchen
or from the third floor back stairs.
That was my gift...
the ability to make something possible
is perhaps the greatest gift of all.

Mr. Lou Stovall, celebrated Artist and Print Maker will participate in a panel discussion with Paula Sanderlin Dorosti, Director Visual Arts - District of Columbia Public Schools and Paul Richard, Art Critic - The Washington Post.
