Obama Melody Love Song

Cherrie Williams
Artist's Statement

My art is mixed media; painting and performance. I create much of my art from "found objects" having been inspired by my "Grandma Susie", who was, herself, a folk artist. My most famous creation, the "Tiniest Jemima", was inspired by an aunt who was cooking pancakes in the kitchen as I sat at her gingham covered table with a box of Aunt Jemima pancake mix. I also perform on stage, singing my original grass roots compositions in jazz, blues, rock and hip hop. My mixed media submission, "Obama Love Melody Song, Obama and Michelle", is about respect, choice, hope and change for a better quality of life and depicts my interpretation of Barbie dolls as being the model of adolescence. *News Flash: Live!
