Author Biography
Born in 1948 in Los Angeles, California, Ramona Lofton Wright's earliest memories are of sitting at her mother's feet watching and singing as her mother tapped on the pedals of the piano while playing Mozart, Chopin or boogie-woogie at the family home in Prescott, Arizona (her family's homestead since the late 1800's). Ramona's artistic gifts span the mediums of music (she plays the cello) and painting. Drawing on personal experience and a diverse family heritage, it is Ramona's desire to translate her passion for life, a gift she inherited from her mother Love Jordan Valadez, into her paintings. Ramona's medium is watercolor, pastels and acrylics. With The Myth of the Strong Black Woman she is adding the craft of writing to her resume. This deeply personal and searingly honest book explores the recesses of her heart and mind as she navigates the joys and heartbreaks of her life, family and marriages. Ramona lives with her husband of 24 years Joseph Wright and paints from her studio Fine Art Done Wright Galleries in Phoenix Arizona.
