Artventure:
An art piece live painted during the BrAIDS for AIDS Braidathon in Toronto, Canada. This piece is partly heavily textured using a palette knife technique and displays the back of a Black female's head with her hair braided in two forming the shape of an HIV/AIDS awareness ribbon. She wears red earrings in the shape of a duafe (wooden comb), an Adinkra symbol that represents beauty, hygiene, and feminine qualities. She also wears red roses in her hair and is surrounded by red roses and buds, symbolic of the love we have and hope we hold for all those affected by HIV/AIDS. The art piece is in gray scale and red, the colours having significant meaning: red is a color associated with HIV/AIDS awareness, black represents the African, Caribbean and Black Community that BrAIDS for AIDS is intended to impact and white represents the allies that join us in this fight. A portion of proceeds will be donated to Braids for AIDS.

All print products are made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
ORIGINALS:
Original artworks are all hand-painted, mostly with acrylic paints. Other materials vary in style and source but all paintings come with a sealant coat to protect your art investment from dust and everyday wear and tear. As these do not come with mounting brackets, feel free to hang or place in your space using the method of your choice.
