Chinwe Roy - Artist
This biography of Chinwe Roy, aimed at 9-12 year-olds, is part of Tamarind's 'Black Profiles' series, aimed at providing positive role models for children. An account of her life from her early years in Nigeria to her current life in Suffolk, England, is interspersed with full-page colour reproductions of eleven of her paintings in both African and European styles, culminating with a magnificent full length commissioned portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II - the high point of Chinwe Roy's career to date.
