For half a century, Louis Armstrong shared his gift of music with the world.

This piece is a tribute to one of the greatest jazz masters, Louis Armstrong, who continues to give us joy with his hit recordings such as What a Wonderful World, Hello Dollie, Mack The Knife, St. Louis Blues, and dozens more.

Orphan Train
32" x 40" Paper Strip Mosaic
Zimmer Museum Art Show
Los Angleles, CA 2011
"The Orphan Train" was a social experiment which transported 200,000+ homeless, abandoned, and orphaned children from overcrowded coastal cities of the United States to the country's Midwest for adoption between 1854 and 1929.
The haunting image shows train tracks traveling the lonely, barren plains of the Midwest, heading toward the unknown in search of families represented by the birds soaring above the horizon in the distance.
No master list of children who traveled the trains exists, but through extensive research I was able to gather a significant list of names of the children relocated. Those names are printed on every paper strip in the piece.
