for The Art Unleashed

fund raising event which

is held on July 17th and 18th.

Nigerian Inspired Series

"Pleated Construct"

"Growing Mama" is currently on display @
The LaVilla Museum.

This is something a little
different from what I
normally do. I call it
"Pleated Construct" it
is a creative way
of displaying two images
of my work at once.
You have to see it
to belive it.

THROUGH OUR EYES 2008

I will be exhibiting several new "Pleated Constructs"

at the 2008 exhibit.

"Art is just something that human beings need to do. Some get to make art every day. Most just make their art when they get the chance. History does not care. History gets the work".

TRIBAL TEARS

Nigerian inspired painting

by Marsha Hatcher.

This little girl has the responsibilty

of caring for her younger

brother although she appeared

to be only 7 years old herself.

The look in her eyes were haunting

to me.
