Women
of the Antebellum
This series of portraits started as a challenge to get me back into a drawing practice after having my son. For some time now I have been wanting to create a series of portraits celebrating mothers and women who have created space and advocated for the equal rights and liberation of people from the African Diaspora.
​
From this series my goal initially was to make 31 portraits for each day in March for Woman's history Month. Although I stopped at 21 I still plan to find the time to finish the last 10.
​
I have 2 goals for this body of work. Goal number one is to create a series of NFT's to be sold on the XRP Ledger. Goal number two is to make a series of ceramic wall clocks with these images, in hopes that I will be able to secure a solo show. The show would be titled
Time is up: Women of the Antebellum.
