Children of Africa - Series
PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU WISH TO PURCHASE FROM BELOW
This series of African children first came to me in my dreams. I have always had a fascination with the African culture, the energy of the people and their resilience. I was compelled to paint the Lost Children from my dreams and bring them to light. Each painting provides a story of the child.
in hiding
This watercolor series gives quiet voice to the children of Africa—those living in the shadows of war and hardship. Hidden, yet never without spirit, they face the world with a fragile mix of fear, faith, and fading innocence.
Their eyes reflect loss, but their presence speaks of perseverance.
