Summer Blossoms, abstract finger painting created on canvas using colors that represent the Summer.

I recently had one of my abstract paintings featured on the cover of a book and the painting is entitled: Summer Blossoms. It is entitled: Kaleidoscope. For more information about the book, contact Esther Productions, Inc at estherproductionsinc@gmail.com.

In 2022, I have implemented over 30 new strategies. As a consultant, I would say that I have received numerous feedback on my effective strategies. Each strategy was uniquely different for each event that I provided and offered services. During the pandemic which began on March 9, 2020, I provided and offered all of my services online. I had to ensure that each service that I provided was effective and successful. This was challenging for me because I was used to providing services for in person events hosted by Esther Productions, Inc and BZB International.

I had to completely revamp all of my services online as a result of the restrictions and precautions revolved around the pandemic.

I provided services for the following events that were hosted by Esther Productions, Inc and BZB International. Among them include NRW 2022, Soaring Sisters Circle, Whatever Happened to Daddy's Little Girl? Unraveling the Mystery; Healing the Pain; Growing the Personal Power, Kaleidoscope, 4th Annual Essay Contest, Inside Job Writing Workshops, Discovering Me Summit and Awards Ceremony, and 30th Annual BZB Gift and Art Show. Additionally, I provided services for Father's Day Conversation with Jonetta Rose Barras and DayEight Writing Camp.

Therefore, I want to thank everyone who has offered some form of support and interest in my overall background and work as a consultant. And, thank you to everyone who supported, Esther Productions, Inc and BZB International.

If you would like to stay updated to see what's new, please feel free to contact me at afrikamabney@gmail.com.

Thank you very much. I hope that you have a safe day.

Happy Holidays

Cordially,

Golden Shadow

Golden Shadow. Digital art created on canvas. August 15, 2024. Afrika Abney Golden Shadow is a captivating abstract digital artwork that masterfully explores the interplay between vibrant yellow hues and profound black tones. This striking contrast serves as a powerful metaphor for the duality of existence, illustrating how light and darkness can coexist harmoniously within a single composition. The addition of various shades of brown further enriches the visual narrative, creating a sense of depth and complexity that invites viewers to reflect on the intricate balance of opposing forces in life. This dynamic relationship between light and shadow not only captivates the viewer but also encourages a deeper contemplation of the themes of hope and despair, joy and sorrow. The subtle incorporation of brown tones adds warmth to the piece, grounding the vibrant colors and enhancing the overall emotional resonance of the artwork.
