| Abstract |
Artist Zenobia Grant Washington was born in Newark, New Jersey on November 24, 1966. She graduated from Winyah Senior High School in Georgetown, South Carolina in 1984. In 1987, Washington received her A.B. degree from the Art and Fashion Institute in Atlanta. Following the death of her brother, Trevor in 1998, Washington began to create handmade dolls of traditional African American women that grew into a successful collection she calls Women of Inspiration, carrying such names as The Healer and The Washer Woman. The "amazing women" in her family, inspired Zenobia to create her dolls to "celebrate life." Her artwork was featured in numerous art galleries and enjoyed in many private art collections around the world. Washington served on the Five Rivers Community Development Corporation's Board of Directors and was the art and culture editor for the International Association of Special Education's newsletter. Washington had one daughter with her husband, Willie. |
