Philip Martin reviewed my painting "The Weight of Air" in his Long Look column in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, under the headline "The weight of air catches mood of the atmosphere."
"The Weight of Air" (2026) was part of my solo exhibition "In Another Weather" at the Argenta Library Gallery in North Little Rock, on view through Oct. 9.
From the review:
"Melissa Cowper-Smith's 'The Weight of Air' catches the atmosphere in one of those heavy moods."
"Then she asks us to feel how heavy it has become."
The review ran in the Long Look/Opinion section of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
