3+1=54+1=55. Letter of the Year: A multimedia sculptural installation

María Magdalena Campos-Pons & Neil Leonard

Three Paintings

Magdalene Coleman

Magdalene Coleman grew up in Boxford, MA and attended Masconomet Regional High School in Topsfield, MA. The art department at Masconomet was absolutely fantastic.

Although he passed when I was only eleven years old, he urged me to keep creating and assured me that one day it would define me. I attended Montserrat College of Art in Beverly where these paintings were created.
