An amazing description of a fantastically beautiful figure in her finest form. The image is eye-catching and powerful as it displays the protective yet vulnerable nature of motherhood.My eyes kept being drawn back to her. Her eyes are captivating and strong enough to hold my gaze for long moments at a time. The mixture of fabric and paint is wonderful. Truly graceful, modest yet proud – the image showcases the finest of African Art – Inspiring to say the least! - Tochi 28/07/2012
I generally prefer photo-realism, so when ‘indistinct’ images enchant and capture me, that means they are really amazing and special – the art is speaking to my soul, which is usually so hidden behind all the details of everyday reality… the massai warriors especially - Teresa Kelly 06/2012
‘I can recognise your art as beautiful because it makes my heart want to smile’ Samir Malik 08/2012
