Resilience was copied from a black and white brochure which I received at church for Aids Awareness Sunday. I was attracted to the look of courage on the girl's face. Also, soon after I painted this picture I read a book about a black slave girl and her courage and resilience which made me think of this painting: hence the title Resilience. Another factor that inspired me to paint this picture was a retired woman in our town who took up photography and traveled to Africa to photograph the people there. She now sells her work to raise money to build wells for the villages in Africa so that the people can have access to clean water. Her photos are awesome! I truly admire her for what she is doing.
