This is my most recent painting. It is the jewel in my crown as far as my art goes; it was chosen to be part of the "Beyond the Rhythm" Art Exhibit at the Royal Ontario Art museum. I am so proud of this piece. This is a representation of the various musical genres that have shaped and defined the sounds of the African Diaspora. These have evolved through time to lend a voice to our people

Sunset
Baiana Regal
I absolutely love the beauty of the Baianas or "Aunties" of Brazil. They are always dresses in stunning white dresses and a lot of jewelry. The origins are from slavery in Brazil, they looked after their masters' children sometimes sold delicacies to assist with the finances. After slavery, they did this for themselves, and today they are a main fixture of Brazillian (Bahian) culture. They still sell Bahian (Afro-Brazillian) food in traditional costume.
