About this artwork
The U.S. twenty dollar bill was slated to replace Andrew Jackson with a portrait of Harriet Tubman. Sadly, the Trump administration put the new design on hold for several years due to "technical reasons." This painting is a celebration of the twenty dollar bill that should already be sitting in wallets and pockets all across the U.S. Harriet Tubman has a strong and beautiful face that is ideal for painting a portrait. The monochromic mark making…
from a photograph echoes Gerhard Richter. The north star (in the traditional style of a quilt pattern) reminds us that slaves used the constellations to make their way north.

« I am a thief. I steal from the world around me. Each walk down the street presents forms and colors that ask to be played with- the shadow of a bike, the corner of an awning, the lines bridging telephone poles...even the tiny sliver of light passing beneath a mailbox. All of these things are game for me. »
Sally K. Smith is an experienced painter from the United States whose works have been exhibited in solo and group shows nationally. Her background in music as a concert pianist influences how she approaches her artistic practice; she sees her work as a passage of time, not unlike listening to a Bach prelude. Working in oil paints and charcoal, Smith creates abstract and imaginary landscapes inspired by the world around her, committing to either bright color palettes or stark minimalism.
