By RANDY KENNEDY
Published: May 31, 2009
Perhaps not since John F. Kennedy has a presidency so fanned the flames of painterly ardor among artists. Yes, this is the painting you saw on the front page of the New York Times! Mimi was interviewed by Randy Kennedy of that august paper, and you can read the article at the link below.

Congratulations, Mimi! …and on the front page, no less!
Please tell me how I can purchase a print of your President Obama “Looking Presidential” portrait. Your likeness of him has captured a contemplative look that I find inspiring and comforting in these difficult times
Thanks,
