Artist Statement:
My African ancestors work
through my fingers to create
each collectible black art
sculpture. My love of clay,
African people, cultural
traditions, vibrant fabric,
and African art combine to
produce an exciting and unique
form of self-expression.
Each African art sculpture
holds special personal
significance and has its own
positive spirit and
personality. The draping of
African fabric, leather, and
beadwork over the
one-of-a-kind ceramic
sculptures is a mystical,
sensual experience. I want
to impart the beauty and
elegance of
traditionally-dressed Africans
into each Black doll and
infuse a bit of my energy and
positive spirit into each art
piece. I hope you enjoy the
ever-changing Kanika African
Sculptures collection....
