 Paintings by Larry Cunningham Featured during Black History Month


Weaver Retail Associate Barbara Summers and Artist Larry Cunningham

A reception was held for Larry Cunningham on Friday February 5, in the lobby of the Weaver Post Office. Refreshments were provided by Postmaster Roswitha Sparks and staff.

Mr. Cunningham is a self-taught artist and has been painting in oils and acrylics for 45 years. The artist believes that art is a bridge that connects people. “ We are different from one another, but we are also very much the same. I call my art Conversation Pieces," states Cunningham. Mr. Cunningham was born in Anniston and grew up on the same street as the girl who would later become his wife.

Several paintings by Mr. Cunningham were on display at the Weaver Post Office the entire month of February for customers to enjoy.
