About The Artwork
1802. As the battle for the liberation of Haiti continues, Napoleon’s France loses a major battle in Saint Domingue and suffers heavy casualties. Already known for torturing Black prisoners of war, an outright massacre of 600 was initiated at St.Marcs. The remaining captives met a more insidious fate (as similarly used in the Civil War of Vendee’ in 1793) the soldiers of the first republic built gas chambers, or etouffoirs in the holds of ships, burning sulphur (dioxide) as an instrument of suffocation. By December of 1802, at least 150 captured Haitian liberators a week, were placed upon these floating gas chambers from the Cape, suffocated, weighted and cast into sea at the Bay of Leogane.

Shera (b.1976) was born in California and was raised in the suburbs of Los Angeles. Having artistic parents and frequent trips to museums led to an early exposure to art. In 1997, Shera received her formal training at an atelier--Associates in Art in Los Angeles, Ca and studied there for four years focusing on realistic studies. During her time there, Shera was exposed to and influenced by many artists such as Nicolai Fechin, John Singer Sargent, and Dean Cornwell. Shera then became influenced by and began studying the Impressionists, Harlem Renaissance and Native Muralists at this time. Shera also studied Game/Conceptual Design and Visual FX Media at AAU. In addition to her other works, Shera's focus now includes historical narratives- a genre often ignored in today's art world, she enjoys the process of depicting a dramatic narrative versus typical subject matter.
