Original artwork, VooDoo Focus, is now part of the curriculum for the University of Florida’s Religious Studies course that depicts a religion through modern art. After a significant amount of research, Sweet Colene put this image together stroke by stroke by firelight while camping in the Northern California Redwoods. The grey figure is purposefully elongated, under a mask, and emphasis on the strength of the hands. A unique feminine image, this work of art has a message straight from the artists’ interpretation of the main takeaway VooDoo gives:

the power of FOCUS:

Scholarly artistry

May the Fire

in your Eyes

Focus the Intentions

of your Heart

to Light the

World around You.”

-Sweet Colene Art, 2022
