My current series, Women of Color and Accomplishment, was started as a result of my research into the BLM movement in 2020. Learning about many Black women who had done incredible things despite major obstacles, I decided to honor those women by painting their portraits. Women of Color and Accomplishment, Book One is available on Amazon.com and at my studio. It contains 31 portraits and brief bios.
Women of Color and Accomplishment, Book Two will be published November, 2022 with 30 additional portraits and bios of historical Black women of achievement. Here are a few that will be in that book.
