The beauty and the people have inspired three artists who have had A Brush with Africa. Birgit Wudenka McMullen, living in Cedar City Utah, served in the Peace Corps for three years and deeply misses Malawi and all her friends there. Sage Gallagher, of St. George, Utah, has a passion to help villagers in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo to start small businesses and to build an orphanage. Currently she is getting to know the villagers by painting their portraits. Ruth Hewlett-Pope, accompanied her husband Louis Pope, to Africa on humanitarian projects. Ruth was provided a lot of time to paint and observe the beauty and hardworking people of Africa. Brush&Lens combines two different mediums to depict the same subject. Stephen Sandau (photography) and Deena Millecam (watercolor) are exhibiting a unique artistic experience.
