I Miss My Brother (Shamiso)  This young girl called Shamiso is reminiscing about the good play times she would have with her recently departed 9-year-old brother who died from typhoid. They would play with mud and swim in the nearby rivers. She vividly remembers the beautiful moments. Typhoid is still responsible for the deaths of people in the Zimbabwean community in densely populated areas.

Painting 6" x 8" //  Framed 15.75" x 14" x 0.63"

This is the first part of a collection of paintings from Harare, Zimbabwe, curated by Valeria Tasuri, who is doing important and heartwarming work mentoring young artists.   Valeria is an advocate of changing the mind-set of stereotypical communities and the negative perceptions of Africans towards their own craft and artwork. Local craft and art is often associated with ancestral worship which is, however, not factual. Valeria is a life changing, mind-set transforming, and community awareness guru, building sales and awareness through digital awareness and public relations. Valeria works with the talented artistic marginalized members of the community, especially the women and youth. Her ethos is inspiring the world through diversity.

This painting is by Moses Eye, a young artist also from Harare, Zimbabwe.  Art is in his genes, having had a mother who had exceptional artistic talent and who would knit, crotchet and engrave designs on blanket covers. His grandfather was an artist who also loved painting. Both passed away but the artistic flair in them still lives on in this young man. Moses has especially mastered the art of African Wildlife and traditional living. Moses is a passionate young man who is set for the skies.  His other passion besides painting is music. He sings local dance hall reggae music. 

Every time you purchase a piece of art, your support resonates in ways you won't really know, but should.  Imagine a world without art.  Most artists joyfully give their souls to nurture yours.  And artists are beyond grateful for your support.  It's a win-win situation because surrounding yourself with art will lift you, and art given as a gift will be enjoyed and cherished long after other gifts are forgotten.  Art is life!
