Thomas Benton Response - This is a contest entry I did for a competition at the New Britain Museum of American Art. The painting is a response to the native American portion of Thomas Hart Benton's Mural: "The Arts of Life in America" that currently resides here in New Britain. The piece deals with hardships that face Native Americans today. It is a fully digital photo montage pieced together from found art and stock photos. It won first place in the Digital media category.
