Beatrice Oliver Gould
Created 2021
Junkanoo is the biggest festival in the Bahamas and is a collage of colors, sounds and dancing. The artist favorite group is the Saxon Superstars, she gives tribute to them by painting the likeness and distinctive smile of Percy "Vola" Francis who leads the Saxon's. Twice a year competing groups dance which is called "Rushing", through downtown to the sound of goat skinned drums and cowbells as the nation celebrate the begin and end of a year.
