Background and Services

Since 2016, I have not provided any dance performance services. Additionally, I have not engaged in providing complimentary services for an extended period. My involvement in educational services came to an end in 2018, and I have since moved away from that aspect of my work entirely. It is crucial for me to maintain a high level of respect and accuracy in my professional endeavors, particularly as I have dedicated considerable time to branding, creating digital art, and delivering my services.

While my past experiences are no longer the primary focus of my career, it is essential to recognize the breadth of my background. My journey has been shaped by a variety of roles and responsibilities that have contributed to my overall diverse array of expertise. The skills and insights I have gained over the years continue to inform my work, even as I have transitioned away from certain services. This evolution reflects my commitment to growth and adaptation in a rapidly changing landscape.

The experiences I have accumulated throughout my career serve as a foundation for each encounter. Understanding this context is vital for anyone looking to engage with my work, as it highlights the importance of my past while emphasizing my current focus in the realm of branding, digital art and service provision.

Yellow Harmony Tambourine

Yellow Harmony Tambourine. Digital art created on August 13, 2024. Afrika Abney Throughout my life, I have explored a diverse range of musical instruments, each offering its own unique sound and character. Among these, the tambourine holds a special place in my heart, with its vibrant jingles and rhythmic potential. Inspired by this beloved instrument, I embarked on a creative journey to translate its essence into the realm of visual art, resulting in an abstract digital painting that captures the spirit of the tambourine. The artwork, titled "Yellow Harmony Tambourine," is a vivid representation that intertwines the lively energy of the tambourine with a striking color palette of yellow and purple. These colors were deliberately chosen to evoke feelings of joy and creativity, reflecting the upbeat nature of the music produced by the tambourine. The abstract forms and dynamic composition within the painting aim to convey the rhythm and movement associated with playing this...

Ausar Auset Society DC

Identity Roots. Digital art created on canvas. September 25, 2024. Afrika Abney “The Hesp region of Washington, D.C., has been a vital support system for the African community since its establishment in 1975, operating under the leadership of the Paramount King, Ur Aua Hehi Metu Ra Enkamit. This organization has played a significant role in fostering cultural identity and community cohesion, providing various resources and programs aimed at uplifting and empowering individuals within the African diaspora. My personal journey with the Ausar Auset Society in Washington, D.C. began in 1983 when I was introduced to its principles and activities at the young age of seven. This early exposure to the society's teachings and community initiatives left a lasting impression on me, shaping my understanding of cultural heritage and community involvement. After a period away, I returned to engage with the society again from 1995 to 1998, further deepening my connection to its mission and valu...

The exploration of human experiences within the context of abstract art

Quote found on the Internet “The exploration of human experiences within the context of abstract art reveals a profound interplay between emotion and perception. Abstract art, characterized by its departure from representational forms, invites viewers to engage with their own feelings and interpretations. This genre transcends traditional boundaries, allowing individuals to connect with the artwork on a personal level, often evoking a range of responses that are deeply rooted in their own life experiences. The absence of recognizable subjects encourages a more introspective approach, prompting viewers to reflect on their emotions and thoughts as they navigate the vibrant colors, shapes, and textures presented before them.”
