It’s good to see what Difatta has been up to. I miss seeing his work. I think the city of Jackson owes him a great deal of gratitude for what he does for others as well as the message he delivers himself through his work.


To clarify: this is for the annual Serendipity art show. Tony plays a huge role in art therapy for the State Hospital but this is the work of the patients, residents, and individuals receiving services. It’s a great opportunity to get your hands on some affordable art.


knol, thanks for the note. i was just saying that i miss seeing Difatta’s work around. He told me that after this show at the hospital he will have more time to spend on his own.
