Paul Feeley, Alphard, 1964
PAUL FEELEY
www.PaulFeeley.com
A site devoted to the life and work of artist Paul Feeley, who lived from 1910-1966.  I designed this web page to offer a virtual gallery and some related background on an artist who headed Bennington College during the 1950s and 1960s and who led the rise of the avant-garde movement in that community.  A teacher of artist Helen Frankenthaler, a friend of Clement Greenberg, a supposed "member" of the Greenberg School of Green Mountain Boys, including Anthony Caro, Ken Noland, and Jules Olitski, this page is one of the few places where people can see a substantial amount of Feeley's own work and see for themselves his passion, relevance, and independence.

TEXAS PARKS AND WILDLIFE PROJECT
Interpreting the Texas Past Fellowship
My fellowship grant from the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department evolved into the Varner-Hogg Slavery Project. My primary intent was to discover as much information about each person on the Varner-Hogg / Patton Plantation as possible, using slave inventories, deed records, probate records, census reports, civil court records, and any other relevant sources. The park no longer keeps the research online, but I am making a PDF of the primary research available here:

Varner-Hogg Interpretative Tour
 Part of my work for Varner-Hogg Plantation State Historical Park was to establish a new interpretive tour for the park.  This link provides a suggested virtual tour for the park site.
