Butler Gallery Permanent Collection, donated by Betty Cunningham (NYC).

Mind's Eye focuses on the traditional medium of drawing. This work expresses the joy and frustration of a young artist's attempt to render the grace and elegance of a constantly moving horse. It deals with the duality of existence, the inner and outer realities manifesting themselves in the renderings of a small boy.
