Nellie Mae Rowe was one of the most significant self-taught Black folk artists of the 20th century.

Last night we had the pleasure of hosting Nellie Mae Rowe’s great-great-niece, Cathi Perry, for an intimate discussion about how Rowe transformed her Vinings home into a “Playhouse” using vivid drawings, sculptures, and found-object art. Cathi even brought a few original artworks for our guests to view. 😍
