In the postmodern era, art by African-American artists occupies a somewhat ambiguous position. Because much of it was conceived as a form of protest against the exclusion of black images in European and American art, modernist critics often dismissed it as propaganda rather than art. But postmodernism has made both multiculturalism and political protest a legitimate aesthetic strategy. As a result, artists who once would have been marginalized as "too preoccupied" with race -- for example, Joyce Scott, whose work is currently the subject of a major retrospective at the Baltimore Museum of Art -- now find themselves on the cutting edge.

Chevelle Makeba Moore was an artist from the beginning. It was a part of her, a life force long before it was a matter of will."I like to say I came to this planet an image maker," she says.Moore, 33, a native Baltimorean and graduate of the Maryland Institute, College of Art, has been a painter and graphic designer on the local scene for more than a decade. Recently her career has gained momentum and she's become a painter full-time.Despite her young age, you could say she's already spent 30 years making art. Even before school age, she was drawing -- on the walls and especially on the blank pages inside book covers.

Term limits and a long-shot run for governor may have ended the political career of former Howard County Executive Charles I. Ecker, but his 1972 pea-green Chevelle convertible isn't so easily retired. Sporting whitewall tires, an eight-track tape player and about 250,000 Maryland miles, the well-maintained car is parked these days on the county government lot in Ellicott City by SherryRexrode. A staffer in County Executive James N. Robey's office, Rexrode previously worked for Ecker.
