Sangbarala Village Huts - 2010. Watercolor on Arches paper. Illustration for the book Djoliba Crossing: Journeys into West African Music and Culture, depicting the style of houses common throughout much of West Africa. Simple though they may seem, these houses are remarkably efficient and ingenious structures — they simultaneously keep the driving rain out while venting the smoke from the fires that can be built inside.
