Painting has become a refuge for Alfreda, who is 64 years old. When speaking on her work Alfreda has said “My art is so full of the riches I’ve lived, the pain I’ve endured and the JOY I’ve experienced. My art is healing and holding space for others to heal. I am driven by the all-ness of love. My Art has felt racism, it’s raw, yet beautiful. Life is beautifully beautiful in spite of, my art is a reminder of that.”
