Sari and Her Baby, 2005 Oil on Canvas 36 x 24 Inches Signed LL and Verso

Sari was originally born in Nigeria. She lost her own mother who was attempting to keep her from harm's way when, instead, she watched her as she was being assaulted in an alley on the Southside of Chicago. Sari grew up with the love and care of a relative in Wisconsin who saw to it that she received high grades in all facets of her training as as a psychologist. After 5 years in that capacity, she had her mother's story published and it was extended and rewritten into a movie which was quite successful in theaters outside of the US. Sari became wealthy and had her own happy children whose father was from the south side of Chicago.
