Waris Dirie
Oil on Canvas, portrait painting of Waris Dirie, based off of the book cover of Desert Dawn. Currently a work-in-progress.
From www.DesertFlowerFoundation.org:
Waris Dirie was born into a nomad family living in the Somali desert near the border to Ethiopia in 1965. At the tender age of five, she was forced to undergo the inhuman procedure of female genital mutilation. This horrible tradition is still practiced in many countries around the world today - by both by Moslems and Christians. According to records kept by the United Nations more than 8000 girls become victims of this heinous crime every day.
