Aisha Lumumba, My Street, 56.5

This quilt is reminds me of the houses on my steet growing up. Although, they were not row houses, each one had it's own character.

Fulton Ross

Fulton Ross, "Fist Full Of Clouds",  Oil on Canvas; 2005

I paint both figuratively and abstract. This painting was completed in Germany in 2005. I was there helping my brother and his wife both stationed in the military with their three children.  I had a great studio in their home off base.  Although I love the face and figure sometime a great cloud formation fills my spirit with the need to paint.

Cheryl D. Edwards


From N.Y. to D.C.. 24x30. oil; 2009

 ARTIST STATEMENT
Cheryl D. Edwards was born in Miami Beach, Florida. She began her studies in art during 1990 in New York City in a class at the Art Student League taught by the late, Ernest Crichlow. She has been living in Washington, DC for the past 16 years. Cheryl has exhibited in many shows in the Washington, DC area.

Her interest in art stems from her fascination of the human body as a whole. Her medium is oil, ink and acrylics. After 15 years of painting nudes she has become fascinated with nature and how it relates to humanity. She says, '...the transfer of an image to canvas begins from the process of having the ability to capture the spirit of a person or object being observed. ...the person's soul shines through the process of capturing the light and dark areas. Art allows me to travel into all realms of possibility. As I look at my life, I have found that I have always chosen ART...' Please contact her for viewings.

Series - 2007

“The Return”

The return is about the enslavement of Senegalese people and how they preserved to survive that period of darkness in their history. The work of Cheryl Edwards begins from the beginning of the most abhorred period in Senegal with the “Door of No Return”; which is geographically located in Goree Island, Senegal. The action of perseverance is depicted in semi abstract spiritual pieces of work embodied with strong symbolism, which appeals to everyone on a universal plane. The series ends with every day scenes of what Senegal looks like in today’s society.

Series – 2008

“Ndebele People – Dolls Ritual/Play

This series sets forth the concept of the use of dolls by the Ndebele People of South Africa. Traditionally all over the world dolls are inevitably used for play and also used for performing rituals. The series consist of 19 artworks using a technique, which combines ink and water-soluble oils. The works depict a combination of the Ndebele people in South Africa in common everyday scenes, and the work demonstrates through creative visual the effect of the use of dolls for the purpose of performing rituals. Dolls have been historically used by the Ndebele People to enhance the possibility of marriage and childbirth. A more widespread usage is to employ a doll to assist in a healing ritual. Many of the dolls made by the Ndebele woman are representative of the traditional healers (Sangoma); they are notably recognized by their dress and always accompanied by a red blanket or cloth worn over their shoulders. This is symbolic of protection of one’s powers. This series opened for exhibit at the Wohlfarth Gallery in Washington, DC on October 17, 2008.

Alan Jordan Lew,  Credit Control, 11x17in., Traditional Mixed Media Collage Work, 2011

I work obsessively with small pieces of paper that I cut using only a pair of scissors, glue sticks, and my finger. Sometimes to create more complex patterns I will cut smaller shapes from one collage and overlay onto another collage. Almost a mosaic look.
