It has been three years since the team at Travel World VR launched the company in an attempt to bring VR to a larger audience of travel advisors. And while COVID-19 has slowed progress, the team is expecting a bounce-back as more and more travel advisors adopt the technology to help get consumers dreaming about travel again.
“The goal is to get people to start to think about travel again,” John C. Graham, the president of Travel World VR told TMR this week. “Those that embrace this new type of technology are going to be at the forefront of the travel rebound.”
Kay WalkingStick joins Hales
NEW YORK, NY
.-Hales is proud to announce representation of American artist Kay WalkingStick. WalkingSticks works are currently included in Site, a three-person exhibition at Hales New York. The gallery will host a solo show of her work in New York City in 2022.
Primarily a painter, Kay WalkingStick (b. 1935 Syracuse, NY) has for over six decades explored the American Landscape and its metaphorical significances to Native Americans and people across the world. WalkingStick has Cherokee/Anglo heritage, and she draws on the Native American experience as well as formal modernist painterly traditions to create works that connect the immediacy of the physical world with the spiritual. Attempting to unify the present with history, her complex works hold tension between representational and abstract imagery. Her paintings represent a knowledge of the earth and its sacred quality.

Jackson, a world-renowned Tlingit master carver, designer and painter whose artistic endeavors stretch back to the late 1950s, was among seven individuals honored in the Traditional Arts category.
Lynette Miranda, USA program director, said the association is incredibly excited to announce Jackson as one of the 2021 Fellows.
