Collection Overview

Collector's Statement

These are some of the art works of my mother, Esther M. Allen, who died June 15, 2005. She started making art at ~75 and kept working until she died at the age of 82. She considered herself an “outsider” artist because she had no formal art training. She never had a showing of her work and never put any of her work for sale.
I wanted to use is form to let people more people see and enjoy her work and to honor her memory.
