  
This abstract is my vision of growing up as a child in the mid 70’s in the Projects on 12th Street in Kansas City, Mo. I remember colored folks in the community adoring life, laughing, and enjoying the summer breeze between the chained linked fence. We lived on one big piece of land with multiple rectangle buildings. There was an array of colors, hope, love, and inspiration on every flat. The black lines illustrate the blueprint of how we connected by phone lines, in the stairwells, or conversations on the elevator. The African prints describe our culture, community, and connection. 

  
The white pearl in the left-hand corner of the art quilt is my mother’s signature. My signature is on the back on a purple heART in honor of my father’s service in WWII
