Recent press notices of the work
of Thelma Johnson Street were
heartening to the young artist and
her friends. This one appearing in
a recent issue of the San Francis
co Examiner is typical:
Probably the Gilber Eillienthal
exhibit of oils and drawings by
Thelma johnson Street of Portland
is the first solo show by a Negro
woman artist in local gallery his
tory. Mrs. Street, said to be self
taught, is fully beyond the stage
of an excellent student. She catch
es true Roland Hayes sensibility
in her Roland Hayes portrait. One
of her drawings of a Negro child
is potent both in spirit in design,
and in "A Mother and Child" she
freshens traditional sentiment by
the effect of an original angle view
