REVOLT
16 x 20 ins, July 14, 2013. Yesterday, a jury acquitted the man who killed a young black boy Trayvon Martin in Florida. There are many like myself who are angry and distressed, some who are revolting quietly and others more vocally. No wonder Lady Justice wears a blindfold.....

FROM U.S. WRITER MARSHA BROWNE: 'I love this painting, Cheryl. The scales of justice tipped against those brown-skinned, faceless women; the wombs papered over with regulations and laws that destroy the lives that emerge from their wombs; the tall tower in the upper left that looms over them, a reminder of the successes denied them by their race and lack of rights; and our mother the moon, full and clear-eyed, shining down on them from such a great distance.'
