Historic paintings exhibition

Northern Virginia artist Sherry Zvares Sanabria’s luminous, haunting paintings from the series, "Slave Quarters and Other African American Sites," will be on exhibit at the historic Thomas Balch Library in Leesburg now through May 31. The works illustrate the living spaces of African Americans at the time of slavery as well as the Jim Crow era. As Sanabria states, the intention of the work is “to remember and honor those who lived, worked, and gathered together in these buildings.”
