Artist's Description

Dear Sandra... I love this painting! Congratulations! I would also like to talk to you about it at your earliest convenience. I am on Facebook and want to provide you with an "update" regarding how some folks have misinterpreted your very well researched painting...to the level of literally "banning" it from being viewed by elementary school students...in America!!! :-(. How crazy is that??? But, several school systems attempted to "ban" Maya Angelou's, " I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings".....smh.....so, you are in Great company" ;-). Again, I look forward to speaking with you, soon :-)
