Colorado Springs, CO.- The Museum of Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center is proud to present “Elevated Perspective: Paintings by Joellyn Duesberry”, on view in the El Pomar, Steiner Galleries until September 11th. In the late 1990s, the artist earned a World Trade Center grant to study and paint the cityscape for five months. The grant came from the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council who provided Duesberry with a studio on the 91st Floor of the north tower. The person who replaced Duesberry in the Artist Residency program died in the attacks of 9/11. There are three paintings in the exhibition painted during this time and one painting from 2002 (“First Pairing: Ground Zero and Elephant Graveyard”) of the Ground Zero.
