Lavett Ballard views her art as a re-imagined visual narrative of people of African descent. Her use of imagery reflects social issues affecting primarily Black women’s stories within a historical context. For her show at Rowan University Art Gallery & Museum, Lavett is creating new works that will represent and amplify African folklore and tribal stories told from a Black woman’s perspective.

The Sister Chapel was conceived in 1974 as a monumental “hall of fame” in which women’s achievements would be presented from a female perspective. The artists collectively established uniform dimensions for the figure paintings and agreed that each canvas would depict a standing female “role model.” The particular subject and manner of execution were left entirely to the creator of each painting. Diverse contemporary and historical women, deities, and conceptual figures populate the all-female pantheon of The Sister Chapel.
