 Aleksandra Stone Cowboy Inferno paintings and poems Friday May 24—Sunday June 29 reception & reading with the artist Sunday May 26, 2-4 pm In the radiant glow of neon's blaze, There rides a bird cowboy, amidst the haze. His plumage aglow with electric sheen, A phoenix reborn, in life's vibrant scene. Atop his bronco, he grasps the reins, Freed from confines, released from chains. Through the mist of neon's gleam, His spirit soars, with a radiant beam... Aleksandra Stone is a Yugoslavian-born American photographer, painter, and multimedia artist now based in Dallas, Texas.
