Balance and harmony

Choosing the color peach was a deliberate decision for me, as it embodies the essence of balance and harmony that I strive to achieve in my digital abstract artwork. This particular hue resonates with a sense of warmth and tranquility. As I explored the nuances of peach, I reflected on how this color can evoke feelings of comfort and serenity, making it a perfect choice for conveying the intricate dynamics of relationships through art.

How I became a consultant?

I became a consultant while I was a student attending Bell Multicultural High School. I participated in the Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton's Congressional Art Competition in 1992 and 1993. During this time, I also had other opportunities where I was able to provide my services. These opportunities allowed me to utilize my formal training and education in the visual arts component to offer and provide services to companies, small businesses, individuals and other places. I attended Bell from 1991-1993. I graduated in 1993 and was 16 at that time. Years later, I donated the painting shown in the above photo. Additionally, I gave away the clothing articles and jewelry shown in the photo above. I have successfully implemented numerous creative strategies using my abstract art and background in the visual arts to achieve excellent creative campaigns for each individual event that I have provided services as a consultant. As a consultant, I believe the key to a s...
