2022 Year In Review

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.

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

Happy Holidays

Cordially,

Artistic Elegance

Blend of fashion and art “represents a unique fusion that transcends traditional boundaries, creating a dynamic dialogue between two distinct yet complementary disciplines. This amalgamation allows for the exploration of aesthetic principles, where the creativity inherent in artistic expression informs and enhances the design elements of fashion. As a result, garments become not merely items of clothing but rather canvases that convey deeper narratives and cultural commentary, reflecting the zeitgeist of contemporary society.”

Simple White

The necessity for acquiring whiteboards has diminished for me, as I ceased offering educational services back in 2018. Since that time, my focus has shifted entirely. I have been working on my branding and digital art where I utilize various digital applications to express my creativity. In this context, the color white serves a significant purpose, often representing simplicity and clarity in my artistic endeavors. “The concept of Simple White embodies the essence of minimalism, where the purity of the color white acts as an open canvas for creativity and innovation, allowing ideas to flourish without the distractions of complexity. The color white encourages a harmonious balance between creativity and tranquility.”

Affection

Affection manifests in various forms, including physical touch, verbal expressions, and acts of kindness, all of which serve to strengthen interpersonal bonds. “Research has shown that affectionate interactions can lead to increased levels of happiness and reduced stress. When people engage in affectionate behaviors, such as hugging, complementing, or simply spending quality time together, they release oxytocin, often referred to as the "love hormone." This biochemical response not only enhances feelings of closeness but also promotes trust and empathy among individuals, thereby enriching their relationships and overall life satisfaction.” The color associated with affection is red. Red Embrace. Digital art created on canvas. December 10, 2024. Afrika Abney Red symbolizes affection and care.
