Ms. Webb is pictured here with her daughter and granddaughter. __ Ms. Webb remarked on seeing her name on every panel and how the exhibit came together. She remains ...friends with Judy Chicago in their home state of New Mexico. __ Come see our Summer 2018 exhibitions before the museum close on Oct. 7th, 2018. __ #MyPMCA #PMCA #art #museum #museums #artmuseum #artsmuseums #makeart #artist #artistsoninstagram #judychicago #birthproject #birthprojectbornagain See more
