This collection of six small portraits reveals women's faces rendered in calm violets, greens, and browns, yet beneath each surface, a vibrant red underpainting pulses through like veins of ancestral memory. The harsh crimson foundation speaks to generations of women who have endured pain and oppression while fighting to create beauty and meaning from their struggles. These layered works honor the inherited legacy that flows inside all of us. The strength, resilience, and often unseen stories of our foremothers continue to inform and sustain us today.
