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

The Autobiography of Malcolm X is my favorite book. This civil rights leader's story addresses issues of race, crime, religion, hate, and ultimately transformation. His spiritual journey from a perspective of hatred towards one of love is truly powerful. In this age of intolerance towards Muslims, we can all learn valuable lessons by reading his story.

This portrait was drawn directly on fabric. It measures 16" by 20"
