THE ALPHA OMEGA ARTS
By TAHLIB

"If I Forget Thee o Jerusalem" now on view at the Museum of Biblical Art in Dallas

This past week, Texas-based artist Barbara Hines was featured in The Houston Chronicle for her discovery that she has Jewish ancestors. Hines is an abstract painter whose recent work is inspired by her discovery of that religious connection. Hines paintings are now on display at the Museum of Biblical Art in Dallas in a show, titled "Mysteries, Signs and Wonders" at the museum's center for Jewish Art. Religious connections make "If I Forget Thee O Jerusalem" my NEWS OF WEEK.
