Never Late for Heaven by Sheryl Conkelton

Chronicles an odyssey in American art and social events beginning with the Harlem Renaissance and traveling through the Great Depression and beyond. This book reveals the life and the passion for painting of a young woman who was surrounded and supported by her community. It shows a painter whose life and fortune have delivered art work.

"As long as I have known Gwen, her art has been about making vivid 'observations'--portraits of people, depictions of objects and portrayals of feelings, movements, and memoriesShe is a keen observer, formally trained as a sculptor and painter to use volume and color as a way of expressing a likeness. Her work is sensitive to nuance but does not have a shred of sentimentality in it. She is tough and pragmatic and one of the most charismatic and generous persons you could ever hope to meet."--Michael Spafford
