Isn't he a beauty? The colorful menace of a mandrill’s stare.

Fowl Dreams

Fowl Dreams

A guinea fowl’s poise. The patterns of its polka-dotted apparel play out in my mind like a game of chess.

Samburu Red

Samburu Red

Feared for their valor in battle, effeminate in their grooming. Inspired by the dissonance occasioned by a flock of Samburu Moran's (warriors) passing by, resplendent in their plumage.

Sun Kiss

No Cry

An ode to my sister, to as she negotiates the labyrinth, on her journey to continued well-being. No beloved, no cry.

How she wears her coat of many colors!

Mother nurture, the nourisher, culture keeper, fountain of unfettered love, the living soil, the whole universe bowing to her presence, the universe herself!

Inspired by the concept of the curious maiden encapsulating both the wisdom of a crone and the latent strength of a mother. his is the crone. One with the elements, plant knowledge, a wisdom portal, present to intergenerational sharing.
