Discovered thanks to the Endicott blog. Terri Windling not only wrote one of my favorite books ever, she regularly makes me discover artists I wish I had known about.

Anyway, this artist spends a lot of time living and travelling with Nomads in the Sahara desert, the paintings are fabulous. What is even more fabulous is that she has since created a charity and a whole program to help the nomads be able to keep their lifestyle and live with pride.

Now I love the landscapes and people of the Sahara, I have wonderful memories and a desire to go back again and again, so these paintings resonnate very strongly for me.
