Renee Leshner lives alone, has no phone & rarely leaves her North Phila apartment. As a young woman, she had visions of an "evil eye" following and threatening her. Her artwork became her refuge, expressing her supernatural visions.
Vanise Clay started painting about eight years ago upon hearing a radio broadcast prediciting the end of the world by a certain date. Believing that we would all soon perish, she prayed for God to reveal the purpose of her life. According to Vanise, she received the clear response that her purpose was to paint "like there was no tomorrow." She painted day & night until the prophecy was proven to be false & the date of reckoning was past.
