Depicting Christ and the faithful with African features has deep precedent, from Ethiopian Orthodox iconography to the church art of the American South. This collection holds the spiritual and devotional work in the gallery: scripture, prayer, and the life of the Black church.

It is a small collection today and it is growing. Each piece is printed to order on archival canvas in the USA, rated for 100 years of color, and the artist is paid a royalty every time one sells.

If you are looking for something specific for a prayer corner, a hallway or a church space, more work is being added over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Because that depiction has deep precedent, not because it's a modern reinterpretation. Ethiopian Orthodox iconography has portrayed Christ and the saints with African features for centuries, and the church art of the American South carries its own version of the same tradition. European depictions are one regional convention among several.
Three pieces: Sunday Best, Knowledge and Still Waters. It's small and we'd rather say so than pad it. The spiritual and devotional work in the gallery is growing, and new originals are in progress.
Yes. In a sanctuary or fellowship hall, go with 30x40, the largest size made, and hang two or three as a set if the wall needs more presence than one canvas gives. For an office, a prayer room or a smaller gathering space, 24x32 is usually right.
Over a mantel, aim for roughly two thirds to three quarters of the mantel's width, which usually lands at 40x30 in the landscape sizes. In an entryway, a single 24x32 hung at eye level does more than a cluster of small pieces, which reads busy in a space people move through.
30x40 and 40x30 are the largest single canvases made, so beyond that the answer is a set rather than one oversized piece. Two or three canvases hung together fill a sanctuary wall better than one stretched past its resolution. Get in touch and we'll work out the arrangement.
Giclee printing lays archival pigment inks onto real cotton canvas, and it holds color for roughly a hundred years without fading. Keep it out of direct sunlight and off a wall that gets damp and it will outlast the room it's hanging in.
Printed to order on archival canvas in the United States, stretched over solid wood, and shipped ready to hang. Free US shipping and 30-day returns.
