Expressionist Style Painting of African Woman in Silhouette, "Independent Woman"

Her head held high, a Ghanaian woman represents strength and independence in this expressive painting from Isshaq Ismail. Her bold clothing and makeup convey her strength of spirit. "This is my expression of being an independent life where one only depends on God for survival", says the artist. "I want the world to know that when you are independent in this world God is your provider".
