This is Thandi Sibisi. She is the 25-year-old daughter of South African cattle farmers. At some point she realized that in an African nation, paradoxically African art and artists were grossly under-represented by South African art market. So, she just opened her own art gallery, and in the process, became the first black woman to own an art gallery in South Africa.
That’s beautiful. That’s fly. That’s beautifully fly.
Original story from Fader; hat tip to Live Unchained for bringing it to my attention.

Recently I was chosen by RAW Artists to be in one of their art shows for this season. This was partially why I haven’t been updating my blog consistently. I was so busy with preparing for this I had neglected my blog. But now, I am back with new works and bios about artists to post. The images above were taken at the event. Working with RAW was an amazing experience and as stressful as some parts may have been, I’m glad that I did it. Below is my RAW profile you should check it out.
Here is my profile at RAW Artists:
