Work in Progress
"Quiet Time Reflections", Acrylic painting, the image still needs some tweeking, but relatively done.
Still Producing Art! Here's a new woodcut.
This is titled "Holding on to Heritage" and will be part of the JCAAA show at FCCJ North Campus in the new year 2008 with works inspired from the Harlem Renaissance period and its artists.
This is a woodblock that was both burned and cut into. The main central figure is holding onto two masks in her hands, holding her heritage which also surrounds her. The women in the background are sowing and planting and the woman in the foreground is making a pot with a baby on her back.
