All of these women are in some way or another artists who decorate their homes with 'painted prayers.' Huyler has deliberately chosen aspects of the lives of diverse Indian women that collectively will give a portrait of the broad range of characteristics that define Indian womanhood. <BR><BR> Stephen's book: <I>Painted Prayers</i> was so popular that it sold out rapidly. Stephen has literally received thousands of requests for copies and, unfortunately, it has not been possible to have this book reissued. Consequently, Stephen decided to write this book approaching the same subject from a new direction. It complements his ongoing work celebrating the identity and empowerment of Indian women.<BR> <a href="http://www.daughtersofindia.com/" target="_blank">Daughters of India</a> has yet to be submitted for publication, but it is hoped that it will be published to coincide with Stephen's new books and film on Sonabai, a village artist from Chhatisgarh. <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.daughtersofindia.com/" target="_blank">Visit the Daughters of India Website</a> <br> <br><br> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="132" valign="top"><img src="images/press/Press_3-Small.jpg" width="132" height="176" alt="" border="1"></td> <td width="10"> </td> <td valign="top"> <strong>Sonabai</strong><br> July 28, 2005<br><img src="images/clearpixel.gif" width="1" height="8" alt="" border="0"><br> In early 2004, Stephen and noted filmmaker David Wright traveled to India to chronicle the life and artistic legacy of an amazing elderly matriarch, <I>Sonabai</I>.
