Ubuntu Girls

The Ubuntu Girls are icons of female empowerment. They are a reminder to us that women are all unique and special and at the same time connected to a sisterhood filled with great diversity. While each woman is blessed with her own unique gifts and the drive to embrace and cultivate these gifts, she is still connected to her sisters, supporting them and lifting them up.

**Spring Fling**
She may be surrounded by flowers, but she lost her flower a long time ago. It was some Spring Fling!

**Rosa**
Rosa knows a few things: 1. How to use a curling iron, 2. Where to find a good mascara, 3. And that she ain’t got no time for daisies.

**Dana**
People often ask me which of my paintings is of me. My response is always that they are *all* of me. Dana, however, is named after me because, although as a woman, I have many facets and play many roles, at the end of the day, THIS is how I choose to see myself—bold, bare, and beautiful. I’m Dana.

**Dirty**
She averts her gaze with coyness and postures herself with grace. However, it is always the lens of our perception that dictates whether we find her presentation of self enticing or just plain Dirty.

**Pele**
Pele, the goddess of fire, stokes the embers in our hearts and stirs the flames in our souls with an intensity that only the force of a volcano can bring.

**I Fallin’**
She heard tales of princes, valiant and royal, but her prince was HERS, and in her eyes he was perfect.
In their very first exchange, she knew that she had fallen.

From the moment I began painting her, I knew she was special. As I continued, I fell deeper and deeper in love until she was finally complete. I couldn't wait to show off my masterpiece! Super excited, I immediately sealed, wired, framed, and proudly presented her to my family as my most bestest and most favorite painting EVER! (In all fairness, I say that about all my girls.)
However, she was received with fair reviews at best.
"Not my favorite." ~Rob
"She's OK, Mommy. I like the other ones better, but good effort." ~Nahla
"Her colors look like poopy. You sure you don't want to call her Poopy, instead?" ~Nadia (Sigh)
My family.
I heard once that Dolly Parton's husband doesn't care for her music and doesn't attend any of her shows. I was like "What?!" Now, I get it. I feel you, Dolly. I feel you.

**Alice**
Alice can’t help but get lost in the moment when she takes the time to stop and breathe in dem daisies.

**Waiting**
“The suspense is terrible. I hope it will last.” ~Oscar Wilde Hurricane Irma is *still* coming, and we are still Waiting, *still* eating, and of course, still painting.

**Electra**
Don’t confuse her look for malaise. She is very much connected. She is very much engaged. She is very much electric…boogie woogie woogie.
Original Artwork by Dana Sardano | **24” x 24”** | **SOLD**

**Raven**
Some think she’s bold. Others think she’s shy. I think she’s stunning. Wouldn’t you agree?

**That Tickles**
Sometimes a friendship gets a little friendlier than expected. Monica brushes the hair from Carina’s face, all the while knowing that That Tickles.

*Dahlia*
Dahlia embodies the gentle nature of the flowers with which she's adorned, but beneath it all, she is a powerful spirit.
She knows who she is.
She knows what she wants.
And she knows how to get there.
She embodies true beauty in all its facets.

Sometimes it takes a little more than a white scarf when you call a Truce.

**Chloe 2.0**
While on my own personal journey of self-rediscovery, I had an experience where a buried aspect of myself came to the forefront of my consciousness. This aspect of unbridled joy, empowerment, and exuberance had lain dormant for many years, and in my mind’s eye, this is what she looks like. Although, I initially had a different vision for the cover of my book, *Ten Recommandments for Personal* Empowerment, Chloe (which is how she introduced herself) became the obvious cover girl. True to form, Chloe also asked for a little pizzaz while I was creating her, so I punched her up with some crystals. I chose kyanite, selenite, and hematite because they embody all the emotional components that Chloe exemplifies. Kyanite represents the throat and third eye chakras allowing her to see clearly and speak her truth. Hematite grounds, protects, and empowers while selenite connects her with universal wisdom, love, and intelligence. Now that Chloe has been released, she ain’t never going back!
