Kenya Series #2 depicts a traditional duo of mother and child. Customarily, a portrayal of mother and child evokes feelings of warmth, love and protection. Throughout the history of art, the mother and child image has been symbolic of a bilssful maternal state. However, the intensity of the facial expression and gaze of the mother in this portrait may suggest a different narrative. What conflict from the past or present might she be attempting to resovle?
Originally painted in acrylic on canvas, large format giclee prints are available as well as blank cards (6"x 5").
For every card you purchase, $1 will be donated to ADRA Mozambique, a NGO in the East-Africa region providing on-the-ground assistance to women and children affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Mozambique, Kenya and Uganda are tied in third place for the highest HIV infection rate in the world.
With your assistance, we CAN make a huge difference.
