Angela Roberts, B.S., M.S.L.S., M.E.D. Looking back into my own memories, I feel only the joy and happines of my childhood. When I look at the paintings of Willoweise, those memories live again in each scene. Like Willoweise's art, the people and scenes of memory are black. Yet, when my friends who have shared my southern but not my black heritage see her sketches, they, too, feel the remembered happiness of a southern childhood. For all of us who have shared a southern childhood, Willoweise's paintings are colored beyond black and white to the intense colors of life in the deep south. Such joy and happiness could be so universally illustrated only by an artist who creates "out of love".
