An artist native to Mississippi, I build images with oil or acrylic of the physical and
psychological spaces and connections between church and tree, child and dog, blue and orange.
Whether commissioned, working from my heart in my studio, or painting on location,
I am driven to communicate with layers of color and texture until each image becomes its own
and I can move on. Several paintings at a time are always in progress, and I move back
and forth as each piece develops at its own pace. I try to paint a playful, and often joyful,
outlook on life. I have always painted and as it has become my primary work,
it has become my way of storytelling.
After years away, studying and making art, it has been in returning to
Mississippi that my work has found its rhythm and become highly narrative as
I try to make sense of the race, class, religious, cultural, mixed up gumbo of this place.
I've become a parent in this post-Katrina war time, and this is having a
profound effect on my thoughts and my work.

I picked some yellow flowers that were growing in our yard, put them in a fancy vase and made my dad a card. My sister laughed and boldly said, "Your gift is very silly. Dads like ties and grills and tools, not stuff that's sweet and frilly." But when I gave my dad his gift, his face was all aglow, "Why thank you, son, for pulling weeds, now I'll have less to mow." -Lill Pluta, 'Dad's Perfect Gift' |

Original Outsider Art by Lamar Sorrento
Memphis Folk Art Champion, Lamar Sorrento, nom-de-plume of James Eddie Campbell of Memphis, Tenn. has been a guitarist and all-around music lover almost since he was born on top of a Tennessee mountain, and he began painting his musical heroes in 1992. His art career took off in 1993, hardly a year after starting from scratch. A special idol of Lamar’s is the gypsy jazz guitarist, Django Reinhardt, but his vivid portraits span the legends of blues, country, and rock & roll as well. A favorite among both art collectors and musicians, his paintings appear in museums and galleries, on several album covers, funky restaurant walls around the country and in the private collections of Johnny Cash, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Susan Sarandon & Tim Robbins, John Hiatt, Neil Young, Jimmie Vaughn, Marty Stuart, Mark Knopfler, Kim Ritchey, Lucinda Williams, David Lindley, Jackson Browne, Morgan Freeman, Malcolm McDowell, Bonnie Raitt, Radney Foster, David Caruso, Drew Barrymore, Elle McPherson and Sam Phillips, among others. When Lamar isn't painting musicians he's playing music. Recent dabbles include painting the cover art for Huey Lewis & The News’ new album “Soulsville”, Devon Allman’s “Honeytribe”, a ten foot tall guitar for the Rock 'n' Roll Hall Of Fame, and contributing two paintings of Johnny Cash to Bill Miller's book, "Cash: An American Man."
With Mother’s Day fast approaching, it’s time to think about what you’ll be buying or doing to celebrate. From breakfast in bed to a luxurious linen robe, we’ve got something for every budget to make
Mother’s Day properly special.
While this is often a happy day where we celebrate the amazing women who brought us into the world, or get pampered by our children, it’s not always simple. For people who’ve lost their mother, who had a complex or difficult relationship, single moms or people who are separated from the mother of their children,
it can be tinged with sadness.
If this applies to you, seek out lovely friends, light a candle for your absent mother, take a long walk in a beautiful space, call a friend and tell them how you’re feeling, or make a list of things you feel grateful for...

In days of the unknown and uncomfortable, try to find comfort in what's familiar--and what's more familiar and comforting than Mom. Looking for ideas on what to give, or treat yourself to, this Mother's Day? A few of my everyday simple pleasures include a linen kaftan, warm, worn-in linen sheets, an elegant ear bauble, a simple vase for fresh-cut flowers, baking a pie with my son, lighting a scented candle, soaking in a hot bath, or having a nibble of chocolate at the 3 o'clock hour. Whatever the day or occasion, make the most of it. Make the most of yourself. And make gift-giving easy through pied a terre.
