The Scent of Andy Warhol
Part two—So Ho, New York. Enter the historical O.K. Harris Gallery and walk on the very wooden floors that exhibited an unknown artist by the name of Andy Warhol. Nostalgia whisks you to a time long gone as you walk through the expansive front entryway and under the high beamed ceiling sure you can hear a crowd who isn’t there admiring some ghostly art. Coming to the first private room on the right, here, in the very place that an also young Ivan Carp (aka, the Mayor of So Ho), who launched the neophyte Warhol, were placed a selection of oil paintings by my Uncle Rob. Rob March Harper received the honor of being showcased for a second time at this prestigious gallery and I couldn’t have been more proud of him. I love his work, (sorry I couldn’t post a photo). He is, in every sense of the word, a true artist. Always drawing, imagining, creating and teaching my daughter, his unique sense of what life is, has the power to challenge you to view the world in another dynamic and warm way. We are so proud of you Uncle Rob. Jade and I grandly stand before the OK Harris gallery, beaming.
We love you,
Dawn

Dear Dawn,
First off, I love your site. I have watched Wonderland many times, as well as the documentary included in the DVD, and I am very fascinated with the story, as well as your relationship with John. I intend on purchasing your book soon to learn more.
One thing I wanted to ask you is how does it feel to have such a traumatic portion of your life portrayed on the big screen for millions of people to see? I think there are many important messages people can learn from the film and your story, and it’s one of my favorite movies of all time. Have you found the movie to be almost therapeutic in a way?
I’m glad to see from your site that you are able to use your experiences to help others. I’d appreciate an email if you have the time.
Thanks so much,
Brian

Dawn,
First time I’ve visited your blog and I find it classy and compelling (more than I can say for a certain other somebody’s blog and website).
The logo deign, incidentally, is absolutely brilliant. Did Gloria do that or is it your handiwork?
Best of luck with the book.

Dawn,
I have recently been reading alot of Andy Warhol books. Needless to say, they are very interesting. I think he is a great pioneer of art in our generation. Plus, he is so catty and campy, I love it!! Hehe!!
Anyway, Congrats to Uncle Rob for his hard work and achievement
He has GOT to be feeling good
Love,
Nicole

Dawn-
Just stopped by before cruising for the Henna adventure…. Thank-you for being so cool.
This is an awesome place to write. A good friend once told me that, “if you can share a piece of [postive] wisdom with at least one person then you are—in fact—a teacher.” I believe this.
Keep Writing—-Keep Teaching.
Thank-you so much for everything you do in service for survivors of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault.
Peace to You and Jade,
Chris
