Venus and Lorna In House!
Deanna Lawrence of Fox 13 News came to interview two of our amazing Folkfest performance acts this morning as they jammed on voice and acoustic guitar in
the art studio at Creative Clay. Member artists were dancing and singing along with Lorna Bracewell’s moving rendition of Amazing Grace while cameras looked on. Venus Jones captivated the group with her uplifting rhymes and sweet melodies. Both women are extraordinary, local wordsmiths who giggled like sisters from the time they walked in the door. Deanna Lawrence appeared
genuinely touched by the two acts, who perform separately but collaborated beautifully when asked this morning. As Lorna and Venus were leaving, a member artist burst through the studio door and presented Lorna with a
completed art work entitled “Smokin’ Snake”as a token of his affection; an apropos expression of the keenness we all felt for the duo after we spent just one morning with them.
