Mother in Grace

Spirited Life Paintings By Dawn Richerson

She held the world in her heart and walked on, despite its devastation, trusting life, believing in the beauty of her dream, knowing they watched over her from afar. In her eyes a sadness and yet eternal hope and a compassion that seemed to her so distant and yet a grace that held her in place, no matter all that threatened to remove her from the love of this life that always found its way into her heart. Mother in Grace is a Spirited Life painting, part of the Dreams for a New World series, and an early work from Virginia artist Dawn Richerson.
