new work by Debbie Barrett-Jones

September 6th - October 25, 2024 

The Leedy Underground II

​​In my artistic practice, Billie S. is not just a subject but an integral part of my creative process. Billie S. serves as a catalyst for working through the past, finding liberation, healing, and self-assurance, a fearless persona within me that frees me from self-criticism and embraces every part of who I am. For the past four years, I have created this work in the basement studio of my home. This exhibition marks the first time much of this art has been presented to the public. It feels especially fitting to present this work in the basement of my second home, the Leedy-Voulkos Art Center.
