Harriet Tubman

I’m thrilled to be included in an group show of Protest Art at TSL (Time and Space Limited) in Hudson, NY, Aug 31st - Sept 29th. Our country’s morally bankrupt  leadership may have taken Harriet Tubman’s face off the $20 bill, but her contributions are forever woven into the fabric of America. This piece is graphite on fabric, 22 in by 30 in. The opening is August 31st, 7-9 PM. Hope to see ya there!

Drawings on Fabric

In light of Martin Luther King's birthday,  here's my collection of drawings on fabric. No doubt, these prominent African Americans have enriched the diverse tapestry of America. Some have been catalysts for equal rights, as in Rosa Parks (above). Others have changed American culture in terms of music and fashion. All are an important part of the fabric of the amazing country.

Harriet Tubman freed slaves and fought for women's rights.

Jay Z helped put hip-hop music and culture on the map

Billie Holiday was a legendary Jazz singer.

Malcolm X was an important voice in the civil rights movement

Harriet Tubman

I drew this portrait of African-American abolitionist, Harriet Tubman on cloth-swatches. A true humanitarian, she helped bring over 70 slaves to freedom before and during the Civil War. After the war, worked tirelessly to promote the cause of women's suffrage. The Underground Railroad may have functioned completely under the radar, but Harriet Tubman's selfless efforts are permanently weaved into the fabric of our history.

The original portrait measures about 22" by 30".

"Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you 

the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world."
