Weavin Sunshine

A rare work of art by Annie Lee titled Weavin' Sunshine that depicts an African American woman weaving baskets from her porch in the deep south. Created in Annie Lee's unique style that is known as "Black Americana".   The basketweaving tradition can be traced back to West Africa. In the antebellum South enslaved Africans used the baskets as winnowing fans to separate the rice seed and chaff and to hold household goods. Basketweaving was a valuable skill in the old south.
