Explore the stories behind MODERN SPIRIT, the first major exhibition in 20 years entirely devoted to the work of Henry Ossawa Tanner.

Having started writing songs just two years ago, she has already taken the circuit in New England by storm, selling out popular area music venues such as Philadelphia's Tin Angel and Boston's Club Passim, and opening for the likes of Livingston Taylor and Lyle Lovett.
