About this author:

I started painting at the age of 5 and photography at the age of 15. I am a product of the African Diaspora via the Caribbean and a working class childhood in Brooklyn, New York. Although very much an American, my mother?s Caribbean ways and religion will forever permeate my sense of self and art. As a descendent of the civil right movement and the women?s movement as well, my art focus has always gravitated toward imagery that addressed the social, spiritual and political realities of my subject. From an artistic perspective, this could be described as social narrative ? whether it is figurative or abstract. orlondauffre.com
