Be Not Afraid Series.
It was the beginning of the year 2024 and it was obviously the end of the pandemic. However, there was still this atmosphere of fear of the unknown, fear of tomorrow; it was suddenly very apparent to everyone that things could change all of a sudden, unpredictably, on a massive scale.
It was against this backdrop that the Be Not Afraid series was born. There are four paintings in this series and they all have women in vulnerable situations as the main character. Their situations are not hopeless however. Psalm 91 verse 5 tells us clearly not to be afraid.
The subjects are placed in various environments - from the cityscape to a kitchen and from a dilapidated village setting to a blank wall - these are everyday women, black women yes, but representative of women everywhere.
The Be Not Afraid paintings are available on our website.
Prints of Be Not Afraid no. 1 are also available on archival paper in 2 sizes and will ship from our print partners in London UK. These prints are a cropped, square version of the original painting.
