November ‘63
Pamela Carvajal Drapala
2001
The 82 year-old
great-grandmother
wore aurora borealis beads
that looked like a continuous
rainbow around
her porcelain neck.
Her long salt and pepper hair
was fashioned in a braid;
worn in an aristocratic style.
Lola sat pensively on her
favorite dining room chair,
then sipped black hot coffee
from a white bone China saucer
on a cool November day.
She reached for a gingersnap
and took several bites then
wiped her mouth softly
with the white hanky
her daughter had embroidered
with tiny red poinsettias pedals.
Lola excused herself
from the table and
walked slowly
to her favorite antique
charcoal colored sofa
to watch her soaps
on the television.
She sat down only
to learn that
President Kennedy
had been shot.
Lola cradled her
wrinkled face
in her small hands
and wept.

Drapala Gallery, a visionary painter and photographer, is committed to giving a powerful voice through women's art and writing. Based on a deep belief in the power of art to express the strength of humanity, she has founded collaborative projects that transcend creative boundaries. One of her flagship projects is the publication of art anthologies, dedicated to women artists from around the world.
In 2018, Drapala Gallery published Strong Women's Art Anthology , a collective work celebrating women in art. The project brought together international artists and writers to share their stories, creations, and resilience. Building on the success of the first edition, Drapala launched a new call for submissions for its second volume, 2020, Women Artists' Create! , designed to reflect the strength of humanity through the challenges of the pandemic.
This collaborative project is an exceptional opportunity for female artists—painters, sculptors, photographers, writers—to submit their creations inspired by the year 2020. Drapala is committed to providing a free platform for these talents, and each artist will be able to share their work as well as the story that inspired it. Beyond the art, a portion of the proceeds from the book sales will be donated to women’s and children’s shelters, adding a charitable dimension to this artistic initiative.
Drapala Gallery continues to push the boundaries of creativity and amplify women's voices in the art world, while encouraging deep reflection on the collective strength of humanity.
