Louisa Marie Summer
Ober Gallery, Kent, CT.

We worked with Louisa Marie Summer (this summer, actually!) to produce twelve large pieces of her project Jennifer’s Family. The works were presented in an exhibition at the Ober Gallerry in Kent, Connecticut.

Summer’s project is an intimate portrait of a women named Jennifer, a second generation Puerto Rican resident of South Providence, RI. Jennifer is a 26 year old mother struggling with the difficult living conditions of a neighborhood crushed by high unemployment and crime rates. Summer exposes us to Jennifer raising her four children out of wedlock and against seemingly insurmountable odds with great optimism and caring.
