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:
May the Fire
in your Eyes
Focus the Intentions
of your Heart
to Light the
World around You.”
May the Fire
in your Eyes
Focus the Intentions
of your Heart
to Light the
World around You.”
