These works of art are all created by the hands and imagination of Thomas Elias Lockhart III. Mixing various textures and techniques to create imaginative imagery that is designed to inspire the eyes.
For so long, we have only seen ourselves as not good enough. Having to strive twice as hard as any other culture just to be considered equal. The fact is, we have been the Roses the whole time!
Through history, the narrative of Black people has been only told in part. It's important to tell the whole story. African Americans built and participated in building almost every important infrastructure in the USA and many other places around the world. The White House was built mainly by Black hands that were never paid. I wanted to celebrate all of those that have never been credited for their gifts to the earth and humanity.
The imagination of three young men, heading in the same direction with a path for greatness. Believing that they are going to achieve all their goals that they sit out to do.
As she travels around the world, looking and trying to find her identity, she finds out that she is the priceless one.
Black women from the beginning of time have been known as graceful, strong, brilliant, loving and strong in their faith. They have been like a powerful mountain that cannot be moved by a storm. Standing in her elegance and showing the world that she cannot be moved by the seasons of change. She remains stable on a sure foundation.
