My latest 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. Here are a few of the portraits painted in 2021. Links to brief bios are below.

The book Women of Color and Accomplishment is now available on Amazon.com and at my studio in San Rafael, California. Other selling venues to come. Publish date: November 11, 2021
