Art for Ms Sow has been a vehicle for communicating holistic ideas, as well as making historical and cultural connections through symbolic representations. Much of her work focuses on symbolism, people, and nature. She mostly paints with acrylics, combined with mixed media. Bright and vibrant colors, natural and simulated textures, and creating a sense of three dimensionality on a two-dimensional plane are characteristic of her style. Over the past few years, she has developed a great interest and love for digital photography and imaging and design. Ms Sow is a Visual Art Teacher with the Cleveland Metropolitan School District. She has worked for several years with students creating murals and finding opportunities for them to excel in Visual Art. Ms Sow enjoys working with children and pulling out the many talents that so many of them don’t see themselves.
