“Ossabow Slave Quarter #1,” Sherry Zvares Sanabria

In the fall 2005 edition, GW Magazine ran an incorrect image of a painting by Sherry Zvares Sanabria, BA ’59. The painting, “Ossabow Slave Quarter #1,” which she exhibited at the Washington county Museum of Fine Arts in Hagerstown, Md., last fall, is pictured correctly on this page. The exhibition and series of paintings was titled Slave Quarters and Other African American Sites.
