Sometimes the work isn’t hanging on the wall…
Sometimes it’s opening boxes that haven’t been touched in decades.
For the past several days, I’ve been quietly cataloging my grandfather, Professor Leon Renfro’s, and my uncle Bruce Brown’s archives—sorting through artwork, exhibition programs, handwritten letters, postcards, photographs, and pieces of history that tell a much bigger story.
Every folder has led to another discovery.
Every letter has connected another dot.
Every artifact reminds me why this work matters.
This isn’t just preparation for an exhibition. It’s preserving a legacy.
I can’t wait to start sharing some of these incredible finds with you over the next few weeks. There are stories that have been waiting years to be told.
Thank you for your patience while I’ve been working behind the scenes.
We don’t just hang the art. We carry it on.
