African Crowned Crane birds are known to dance during a courtship. These beautiful large birds are often regarded as a symbol of peace. In this painting, Soul of Africa, I imagined them dancing to the beat of African drums during a beautiful sunset.

Inkosi Edansa is Zulu for “the dancing king” which describes the beautiful and dramatic mating ritual of the African Crowned Crane. I honor these magnificent birds by painting their images on their own feathers. I love that they mate for life and that the males and females are almost identical in coloration unlike most bird species. Mostly found in the Sub-Saharan region of Africa, these huge birds have wingspans up to six feet.

I am so impressed with indigenous art of Africa. On the border of Ethiopia and Sudan lives the Surma Nomadic Tribe. Here I honor their tradition of body art that includes face painting and adornment with flowers on headdresses. These rare African Crown Crane feathers were legally obtained almost 40 years ago by a local rare feather collector who retired and passed them down to me. I am honored to put African body art and rare crane feathers together in my art.
