Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, from a family full of music and art, I am feeling back at home.

I graduated from Carnegie-Mellon's fine arts program focusing on painting. After college my career re-routed me to the corporate world specifically in packaging design.

My focus has been on African Religions of the Diaspora that survived the middle passage (how they are similar, their differences and how they have syncrenized vs. how the religions currently exist in Africa today). My focus on the spiritual characteristics has been the inspiration for much of my work.

I am currently a member of a visual artist organization called "Women of Visions" and currently participate in group shows with the organization.

African Spirituality, great music that inspires my art (music that transports me to a place), when I touch a blank canvas or one with my sketch and the canvas tells me the colors to use, love of life...the energy of life, when nature talks!

Visions! This is why meditation is a must!

Karma! The laws of the universe!

close-minded individuals, negativity, the lack of respect for the power of the universe

This little piece is an interpretation of an older piece i saw in a museum and copied, liberally, on paper with oil pastel.  The paper is special hand made cotton from Langdell here in Vermont.

Thanks a lot Adrienne! No, I don't paint for a living... yet. I'm working on it down the line. Yes, I do sell both originals and prints on my website: www.marcuskwame.com I like your work. There's a lot of feeling in it. Stay in touch.

Hey Ya, I dont really have a certain time.  Sometimes I get home from the gallery and say to myself that I will paint for and hour or so.  The next thing you know its 6 AM.  LOL   nothing better than the stereo blasting and a paintbrush or a lump of charcoal in my hand.  LOL.  Been recently working on a series of paintings; havent put them up yet.  They are quite controversial, so not sure if i should put them up.  Have 3 more to do out of 6.

Hey Ya, its no problem if you add me.  Right now I dont even hang them in galleries.  I have some friends that are marketing GODS that sell my work to clients. 


I have never been into the "what works" in galleries thing.  I am still a firm believer that if you like art, then you like art.  Not that it has to belong to some famous name behind it, or anything like that.  I dont even have a title.  If I like something, I paint it. 


I havent ever listed my work on ebay.  I dont know why, Just never did. 


Send your artwork to your friends.  Have a showing at your house, and make a dinner party of it.  Maybe invite a few people you get along with from work, and start frome there.  I hope this helps.  Its what I did, and seemed to work for me.  LOL.
