A mixture of seasonal flowers adorn my headdress.
I mostly prefer roses, though.
Burgundy lipstick lines my almost smile.
My thick black hair is usually braided in a crown around my head, always with a center part.
I have a strong face and centering eyes that are indicative of a hardship-filled life.
I tend to favor wearing elaborate jewelry and bright, cultural colors in clothing.
Skirts are primarily what I wear on my lower half.
In portraits of myself, I prefer to look straight on or slightly to one side.
You will not find a photo or painting of me slouching.
As a confident person by nature, I refuse to be submissive.
You will often find me with a paintbrush in my hand.
Self-portraits are where I excel.
The hair on my upper brow tends to create one complete unibrow.
This is something I was never ashamed of, in fact, I was rather proud of it.
I am in-tune with myself and happy to be who I am.
“I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.”
