Artworks, 1952-2014

This series provides a view into several decades of Parsons’ artistic progress through the lens of her sketchbooks, drawings, watercolor paintings, and other visual explorations of new forms. Within this series is the sketchbook that Parsons took with her to New York in 1957, which she used to record what she saw when traveling across the country, as well as the study watercolors that are now decorating the fireplace in her home, and even a series of preliminary sketches along with their finished product, Opus #2.
