Marcia   artists To Whom It May Concern,<return><return>I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Vicki D'Pella, a talented artist whose work I have had the pleasure of experiencing over the years. Vicki's unique style of kinetic painting, combined with her fearless exploration of personal identity, sexuality, history and the female paradigm, has made her one of the most exciting artists of her generation.<return><return>As a kinetic painter, Vicki has performed live on stage to music with some of the most influential artists in the Brooklyn Bohemian scene, including Mos Def, Common, Saul Williams, Erykah Badu, Kevin Powell, and Sarah Jones. Her work has appeared on numerous book covers and has been exhibited in some of the most prestigious galleries and museums in the world, including the New Museum of Contemporary Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art, Rush Arts Gallery and The 18th street Art Center, Weatherspoon Art Museum, The Greensboro Artist League, New Image Art Gallery, and Spelman College.<return><return>Vicki's work is a powerful exploration of themes that are both personal and universal, and she explores them with a sensitivity and insight that is rare among contemporary artists. Her exhibition at the Harvey B. Gantt Center, which explored the dichotomy of the virgin and the whore through an analogy with Haitian Voodoo motifs and Magic City strip club culture, was particularly controversial but ultimately a triumph of artistic expression.<return><return>Despite the challenges she has faced, including being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2004, Vicki has remained dedicated to her craft and has continued to produce some of the most creative and groundbreaking work of her generation. I have no doubt that she will continue to be a major force in the art world for many years to come, and I recommend her without hesitation.<return><return>Sincerely,<return><return>[Your Name]
