“Wherein I Am”: Highlights from the Aaron Coleman Papers > The MFA Years > Watercolor by Elaine Goble Dandridge, Fall 2014

Water Color by Elaine Goble Dandridge

The portrait is a closeup of the author's face with his eyes closed, glancing down as if in
contemplation.

Watercolor portrait of Coleman completed by Dandridge during his poetry reading at “Goodie House,” a poetry reading series at Soulard Arts Market/Human Spaces. Dandridge created these 10-minute portraits and gifted them to a number of St. Louis poets over the years.
