Ms. Gharib is talking, but my attention is on the rich brilliant blues, greens, earthly browns, oranges and gold splashes of color in the painting. My senses drink in the haunting eyes of the religious characters in the pictures, she has invited me here to see. Religion in the Black American community has been the glue, that enabled us to coe with the atrocities of slavery, selling our family members to total strangers in different states, and being labeled the minority population for centuries.Religion is the underpinning of Gharib's life too.

It is her rendition of the trio that followed the star to the birth-place of Jesus, so many years ago in Bethlehem, long before there were automobiles, urban sprawl, or smog-filled air.Her paintings are all about men and women of color. Using history books, such as "Nature Knows No Color Line" by J. A. Rogers."Zipporah." another one her paintings, is holding a bouquet of roses. Her dress is brilliant blue, embroidered in white,that catches the light and shimmers. This particular painting is not in the home, but is currently on display at the home of bishop John Dell Husband, one of the twelve members of the General Board of Directors of the Church of God in Christ in Atlanta Georgia. "Zipporah", the same painting the Entertainer Sammy Davis Junior reportedly was inquired about buying on more than one occasion. The artist adds "the brown paper bag, has a special significance to the artist, since it was the first canvas,she ever painted on, in her younger days.
