Miss Kitty's Vodou
Voodoo is a religion. This religion sprung from an era in
man's history where men held other men in slavery. The
people that were forced from the homes in Africa struggled
to maintain and preserve their faith in the gods of their
ancestors. From this struggle Voodoo emerged in Haiti and
migrated to the swamps and bayous of Louisiana.

The dolls, serpent figures, necklaces and other
Vodou Art created by Miss Kitty are authentic expressions of a religious
spirit, dating back 6000 years to Western Africa. Inspired by the New
Orleans traditions of Vodou Orders, the materials and symbolism in Miss
Kitty's Art are consistent with Vodou practices and icons. It is Miss
Kitty's intent to raise the representation of Vodou to fine art. |
