From the New York Times, October 23, 2005 ..... Five Artists' Points of Viewby Michelle FalkensteinWhen Kandice Fields of Buena was 11, she drew a large picture of a character from a Japanese anime card called Dragon ball Z. Her parents assumed she had traced the figure until she showed them the tiny card. "That's when they figured out I could do art," she said. Ms. Fields, now 17 and a senior at Buena Regional High School, has studied art ever since at the Barn Studio of Art in Millville. She has been excepted at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts for fall 2006. Ms. Fields is the youngest of five artists whose work is in an exhibition called "African-American Jersey Girls" at the African-American Heritage Museum of Southern New Jersey in Newtonville, through December 30. The other artists are Donnie Hill of Atlantic City; Joan Reeves of Philadelphia; Lois Smith of Cape May; and Asa Zuberi of Newark. Information: www.aahmsnj.org or (609) 704-7262.
