Dr. David Driskell wrote about my sister's painting she gave to me.
Erika Ranee Cosby's artwork concentrates on image perception, especially the media's debasing stereotypes that alter the realistic qualities of people through negative images and representation ....though use of satire, metaphor, and allegory, her work examines the intent and the effect of these distorted images on African American culture. She focuses on Abstract pieces."
