HMA Member Spotlight: Linda Greenwell
As a prelude to our Membership Drive in October, we over here at the museum have been thinking of ways to recognize and get to know our members better on a regular basis, creating more discussion around what it is like to be a member, what makes being a member at HMA so special, and having a personal connection and reach to our membership community.
An Exuberant Spirit: Thomas William Brooks, III
My father stands out as one of my earliest creative mentors. He always had a project - no matter what. He showed up from work humming a tune and then there it was - a birdhouse for a neighbor, a doll house for my sister, or toy cannons for my brother and me. Ideas flowed and he created “it.”

John McIver (born 1930)
At a 2005 exhibit at Charlotte's Modern Eye Gallery, he was described as "renowned for his previous work in watercolor, for which he has been awarded many honors. In this current body of work, he turns his expression to collage, and crafts energy-filled canvases of color, light, and texture. His work is reminiscent of delicate Japanese-inspired textiles."
