Nettie J. Asberry African American Pioneer25 years ago, as I completed a series of 12 historical paintings history showed me that individuals from my community made invaluable contributions to the state. The pioneers in the series helped to provide very basic liberties for me, in spite of the intense adversity they faced. And truthfully, before this project, I took their sacrifices for granted. Somehow knowing this local history meant something special to me and gave me the push I needed to keep working towards my goals.

I hope you’ll visit my upcoming exhibit and discover little-known facts about Washington state for yourself.

The Opening Reception is Thursday, January 16 @ 6 pm, “A Pioneering Spirit, A Fight for Liberty and Freedom”. During the exhibit (1/09 – 2/20) visit the gallery on Thursdays or BOOK A TOUR with the gallery by calling (253) 682-1735.
