Sojourner Truth


She was born into slavery, in Ulster County NY, but would channel her faith towards abolishing America’s original sin. With a name like Sojourner Truth, she had be a badass, right?

Thanks for viewing. You can check out more fun map drawing on my website

Frederick Douglass



Out of a fractured nation, a slave would rise to find his North Star.  Free from bondage, he would eloquently speak out for abolition, women’s rights, and desegregation. The father of civil rights,  Frederick Douglass

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!

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."

~ Harriet Tubman
