Wednesdays are dedicated to Black Women in Art I know I know, it isn’t Wednesday. Tomorrow, Wednesday, starts my LinkedIn pause. Abstract Artist Anita Sewell is a Collect Black Art Artist. On Sunday, May 5th, Cinco de Mayo, I’m hosting my 1st art experience. Anita is the featured artist. Her passion for her art is evident in the video below. Anita grew up in The D Anita enjoyed her childhood, growing up in Detroit, Michigan. Her childhood taught her that she could be whoever she wanted to be. What formed Anita’s art Starting out, some 15 years ago, Anita mostly used acrylic paint. However, she has begun experimenting with oil-based paint, which * takes her back to her childhood. Her motto when developing her pieces is, "Be a kid first, then be an adult." This motto shapes her technique when creating art. While critics may say, "I could have done tilat Anita knows that even she cannot produce the same piece twice, and she would like to see the critic try. Another medium that transports her back to childhood is charcoal. When charcoal colors her hands, she lets her hands lead her, and a beautiful piece of art immerges. What Anita is most proud of Anita's greatest achievement to date was a commissioned piece for her cousin. The piece shows Anita's mom and aunt walking down a path holding hands. This piece stretched her in amazing ways and is now hanging proudly in her cousin's home. Societal impact on Anita’s art The pandemic and racial climate has also affected Anita's work. She felt the pain of the world and that pain shaped some of her recent works. One such work is entitled "Blood on My Hands" , which is on display today. She wants people to know that it is not their fault. She also wants people to know that they will be ok. Channel Anita as you admire her work As you browse Anita's work allow your inner child to feel how she felt. There are also pieces that will speak to you as an adult. The art you are seeing are works of peace. She wants to share her peace with you. Each piece is an original piece, she hopes her art inspires you to smile and be happy. If you would like to know the story behind each piece, Anita welcomes the opportunity to share the story with you.

Wednesdays are dedicated to Black Women in Art Carole Morisseau is an African American artist in Detroit creating paintings and drawings with a Haitian influence. “My investigation has always considered the movement of the observer’s eye in the development of composition. My charge is to organize space on a two dimensional surface in a meaningful manner that forms a visual rhythm. This challenge remains constant whether working figuratively or abstractly with few points of departure.” Credit: Morisseau Art As the granddaughter of a craftsman and the daughter of a visual artist, the native Detroiter is a lifelong artist by practice and in legacy. Morisseau’s work manifests in paintings, illustration and mixed media; and her career trajectory has traversed many forms, from visual art to dance and teaching. Credit: Detour Detroiter “Healing Wall” I was inspired to create these pieces by my exposure to the custom of tying ribbons onto the fence of a famous Cathedral or onto wrists in Maranhao, Brazil. I found the custom to be similar to the funeral customs of Ghana. I was intrigued by their similarity despite they’re being an ocean apart. “Healing Wall” is a 3 dimensional interactive art installation that asks participants to write down the name of a black, brown, or indigenous person that has been killed or brutalized by the police or a corrupt system. The participant will write this name on a ribbon and the artist attaches the ribbons to a grid. In Brazil, a black person is killed by police every 23 minutes. In the piece each ribbon represents a human life taken. There are over 4000 ribbons in the piece. Interspersed throughout the work are painted oil portraits of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and other Black and Brown people from around the globe who have suffered or met their demise through this brutality. The artist hopes that by congregating and talking about the occurrence of these deaths and saying and writing the victims names we can collectively grieve. If we can collectively grieve, then maybe we can collectively heal. “ Healing doesn’t mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives.” Native American proverb.

Pounder and Public commissions of Henry Ford Health, University of Detroit Mercy and HGTV. Carole is a Fulbright Hays Fellow GPA to Brazil, 2018. “My practice is focused on creating work that expresses concerns and points of view of the African American experience and documents the beauty of our people and its culture. My intent is to capture the beauty of the African diaspora and document the era in which we live.” Credit: The Carr Center 🖼️My art mission is to inspire 100 Black Art Collectors and, to promote Detroit artists.🖼️ #BlackArtist #BlackWomen #WomensEmpowerment #BlackArtCollector

Wednesdays are dedicated to Black Women in Art. We dedicate this BWIA Wednesday to the Life of Faith Ringgold, 1930-2024 Although Faith Ringgold was not a Detroiter, our art collector’s group discussed her significance to and in the art world. I was 1st introduced to her by Dexter via calendars of her work and Marilyn Williams White, Ph.D. through her children’s books such as Tar Beach. Today, we revisited Tar Beach and, had a moment of silence in Faith Ringgold’s honor. Anyone can fly. All you need is somewhere to go that you cant get to any other way. The next thing you know, you’re flying among the stars. – Faith Ringgold, “Tar Beach” (1991) The Early Years Born Faith Willi Jones on October 8, 1930, in Harlem, Faith Ringgold was a pioneering painter, mixed media sculptor, performance artist, author, teacher and activist whose powerful works address issues of race, gender, and social justice. Ringgold’s innovative use of quilting and storytelling techniques revolutionized the art world by bridging the gap between fine art and craft traditions. The First Quilt Ringgold made her first quilt, Echoes of Harlem, in 1980, in collaboration with her mother, Madame Willi Posey who was a prominent Harlem fashion designer. Ringgold’s quilts were an extension of her tankas from the 1970’s. These paintings were not only bordered with fabric but quilted as well – a unique fusion of painting and quilting mediums. Ringgold’s first story quilt, Who’s Afraid of Aunt Jemima?, was written in 1983 as a way of publishing her unedited words. The addition of text to her quilts had developed into a unique medium and style all her own. Over the next forty years Ringgold continued to innovate and reinvent her style, creating new original series of paintings and storyquilts at least once every decade. Another First Ringgold’s first children’s book, the award-winning Tar Beach, was published in 1991 by Crown. It has won more than 20 awards, including the Caldecott Honor and the Coretta Scott King Award for the best-illustrated children’s book of the year. An animated version with Natalie Cole providing the voice-over was produced by HBO in 1999. The book is based on the story quilt of the same title from the 1988 Woman on a Bridge series. That original painted story quilt, Tar Beach, is in the permanent collection of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York City. Accolades Ringgold was the recipient of over 100 awards and honors; author of 20 children’s books; and subject of the recent critically acclaimed touring exhibition “Faith Ringgold: American People” (2022–2024). Faith Ringgold has been exclusively represented by ACA Galleries since 1995.
