THE FIGURE REPRESENTS BLACK AMERICANS, THE CROSS REPRESENTS THE ONE AND ONLY GOD WHO HAS KEPT AND CONTINUES TO KEEP US.
WE, AS AFRO AMERICAN CITIZENS, LOVE OUR GREAT NATION. INDEED, THE SOIL OF THIS, OUR BIRTHPLACE, IS SOAKED WITH OUR ANCESTORS BLOOD, YET, WE HAVE NOT BEEN AFFORDED THE RIGHTS, PRIVILEGES AND FREEDOM THAT OTHERS HAVE, BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF OUR SKIN.
OUR 'PINING' FOR 'EQUALITY' IS PAINFULLY DEEP, BUT NOTHING NEW. FOR, WE HAVE A RICH AND BEAUTIFUL HISTORY TO BE PROUD OF, WITH SO MANY WORTHY 'FORAGERS' HAVING GONE ON BEFORE, SOME WHO HAVE PAID THE ULTIMATE PRICE.
SO IT IS, DURING FEBRUARY, WHICH IS BLACK HISTORY MONTH, WE LOOK BACK WITH GRATEFUL HEARTS AND SEE THAT ONLY GOD HAS BROUGHT US THUS FAR. WE HAVE COME A LONG, LONG WAYS...YET, WE HAVE A LONG, LONG WAYS TO GO.... BUT WE ARE NOT DISCOURAGED WITH THIS BITTER/SWEET REALITY AS...STILL...WE WAIT.

I am a 79 year old mother of 4, grandmother of 11, great-grandmother of 12+.
After being homeless 2009 to 2010, I returned to painting which was something I hadn't done since childhood.
Being unable to afford professional training, I am self-taught, yet I am sure all will agree that 'Life', in and of itself...is a great teacher.
Though I concur that I still have a ways-to go, in the 6 years that I have been a member of Artmajeur I have learned a great deal.
It has been said that I have a 'good-eye' a compliment which I hold quite dear. And, If you browse my Gallery from my earlier creations to the present, I am sure you will agree there is, undeniably...artistic growth.
I am a Christian and greatly inspired by an awareness of the presence of God in my life. Thus, all of my work, in one way or another...is inspirational.
Thank you so much for reading my Bio and I hope you enjoyed my Gallery.
