Young Miss
Pencil Drawing
Don't underestimate her neither count her out. She is resilient,
talented and strong. She is observant and open to learning.
She is delicate, yet, tough enough to speak up for herself.
Give her the support she deserves and watch what she can do
with it!

I embrace my race, my heritage and my unique features
and its form. I recognize what I bring to the table.

Mom and Me
Mixed Media
Much of what young women learn about life is from their mothers. Those
long late night talks, and lunch dates are as valuable as gold because it's
mom's way of preparing you for life and its challenges. She's been that way
before and she knows the curves in the road.

Queen Wise Woman

the importance of wholesome speech that edifies, teaches and encourages another.
Only those who realize their need for wisdom will take her as their dearest friend.

Her Eyes Were Watching God
Embroidery
Without faith in God, nothing will materialize as it should. The storms of life
along with the ruling powers on the earth must submit to the authority
of a higher, more powerful being! The woman of faith knows this all too well!

Fruit Basket
Watercolor
She's always thinking ahead in order to prepare for her family's needs.
She goes out to the market, gathers the best fruits and vegetables.
Her labor of love may sometimes go unnoticed, but the taste of her cooking is forever remembered.
She is industrious, hardworking, diligent and intentional in all she does. Her lamp
never goes out. She rises early and meets each day with renewed hope!

Steel
Acrylic on Canvas/Gold Leaf
She is strong, she is not only resilient, but she can carry a lot
on her shoulders while running a household if need be.
She is unbreakable and persistent. Her children are her priority.
She navigates them through some of the toughest periods in life.
She endures injustices publicly and privately, she endures abandonment
and shame. She endures criticism and isolation. She holds to her integrity
no matter what. She is truly an enigma! She is like 'Steel' that never wears out!

Then and Now
Acrylic on Canvas/Mixed Media
She lived through decades of injustices
and unkind acts towards her people and she waited with hope. But when hope turned the corner,
she realized that things remained the same, yet,
she has a faith that is unshakeable.
Beyond this life she awaits something better!

Cocoa
Acrylic on canvas
We come in all shapes and sizes and complexions.
We are complex individuals, but to know us is to love us.
Though life may have dealt us a terrible blow, we are resilient!
We create, we own, we nurture, and we rise to every occasion.
Dignified
Acrylic on canvas
Remembering the women in my community who
were strong black females who stood for what
they believed in, whether people agreed with it or not.
They knew you weren't their child, but they reprimanded
you anyway! They looked out for people on the block and
they carried themselves with respect.
THE BLACK WOMAN
Art Quilt
She is intelligent, resilient, creative, industrious, and classy.
She doesn't manipulate in order to have her way.
She works hard and the integrity of her work speak for her.
She refrains from being brash and loud because she understands
that her voice can be heard because she carries herself with respect.
