During the last six months, I have been working hard creating mud cloths for an up coming exhibit I am hoping to hold this Fall . While doing this I have conducted a few workshops and mentored art students for portfolio preps. I love sharing what I have learned over the years. It is hard to believe that it has been 21 years when I started to do Bogolanfini. My art career started at the age of 14. December 1979 when I sold an oil painting of a little sad cat. From Oils to Mud what a change.
Next month I return to the New York State Fair in the Pan-African Village to teach mud cloth painting to the public. It is one of my favorite things to do. I enjoy the smiles on peoples faces. For some it is a look into an art form from a culture they know little about. For others it is a way to connect to the past. I can't wait to see who attends this year. Looking forward to seeing everyone September 2nd and 3rd in the afternoon!
