lonnie powell

This stunning painting greets you as you walk into the lobby of the brand new H&R Block World headquarters in downtown Kansas City. It’s larger than life and pretty much commands the attention of the entire lobby. It was done by Lonnie Powell, who is going to Uganda with us to teach art classes to the children at St. Mary Kevin Orphanage Motherhood.

Lonnie is a graduate of Lincoln University, Jefferson City, Missouri where he studied under the late James Dallas Parks. He spent the majority of his career as an art teacher in the Kansas City, Missouri school district.

I am so honored that he will joining us!
