Kongi, oil 8x10

Kongi is a ten year old girl from the Hamar tribe in Ethiopia. The Hamar are one of the oldest cultures on earth. They live in the southwest corner of Ethiopia where Lucy, the oldest humanoid, was found. Today, however, the Hamar are on the verge of extinction because climate change has brought drought to their homeland. The ways of their ancestors are no longer enough to keep them alive.

This painting was done to raise money for an organization called Global Team for Local Initiatives (GTLI) which is working with the Hamar to help them adapt to the changing world while keeping their ancient culture intact.

For more information about the Hamar and GTLI go to www.gtli.us.

Pastel

Sad Woman, pastel 14x12. When I told the model she looked sad, she said "I am sad. I'm sad about the state of the world." This portrait was featured in the 6 Kitsap County-wide papers in "What's Up" and also in the Kitsap Sun "Arts and Entertainment." Received 2nd Place/Honorable Mention at the 9/05 Silverdale Art Walk.

The Arts

Music is the voice of the soul

Dance is the rhythm of the soul

Painting is the mirror of the soul

Drama is the enactment of the soul
