Brian Kemp with "Artsperience," a mixed-media piece that was a collaboration with his 14-year-old niece Danielle Jefferson. Kemp met her for the first time this summer during a trip to North Carolina and found out that she is a young artist. She showed him a drawing but said she didn't like it and intended to destroy it. Kemp told her to give it to him, he said. She did, and he finished the painting and then mounted it on a chunk of scrap iron he had in his storage shed.
