From the Estate of the late Joseph D. Rowand, Chapel Hill, North Carolina Joe Rowand was instrumental in developing a contemporary art scene in North Carolina. After studying in New York City at Parsons, he brought the big city art feel to Chapel Hill, North Carolina when he opened Somerhill Gallery in 1972. His gallery served as an epicenter for collectors and artists to gather and grow for over thirty years.

Gift from the Artist, Christmas 1981

Lucy Spencer earned her BFA from the University of Georgia and her MFA from University of North Carolina - Greensboro. She has exhibited widely in North Carolina since 1975, as well as up and down the East Coast. Her work may be found in many private and corporate collections, including R. J. Reynolds, Duke University, and the Weatherspoon Art Museum. Painting in a "wet, juicy style reminiscent of Wayne Thiebaud," Spencer's still lifes remain among Joe's personal favorites in his collection.
