Creative Journey

The days of traditional office environments are behind me. Now, I find myself thriving in a home-based workspace, where I am fully committed to my profession as a consultant. At present, I am channeling my efforts into an exciting project for MidnightRose: A Reading Series of Poetry & Prose, which is scheduled to take place on September 14, 2024, at the Tenley Library which I began on August 12, 2024.. This captivating event promises to unfold from 2 PM to 4 PM, providing attendees with a unique chance to dive deep into the enchanting realms of poetry and prose. All promotions are done online.

My creative journey continues as I dedicate time to my digital art and branding blog. This platform serves as a canvas for my artistic expression and a space where I can share insights and tips related to branding in the digital age. I am passionate about exploring the intersection of art and technology, and my blog reflects this enthusiasm, allowing me to connect with a community of like-minded individuals who appreciate the nuances of digital creativity.

Festive Tapestry

Afrika Abney “ The term "Festive Tapestry" evokes a rich and vibrant image, suggesting a woven fabric that embodies the spirit of celebration and joy. This concept can be interpreted as a metaphor for the intricate and colorful experiences that come together during festive occasions. Each thread in the tapestry represents a unique element of the celebration, whether it be the traditions, the people involved, or the emotions shared, all contributing to a larger narrative of communal joy and togetherness.”

Infinite Devotion

It suggests an unwavering commitment to uphold and champion values, relationships, or causes with complete dedication. This level of devotion is marked by a readiness to put aside personal desires and interests in order to prioritize the needs of the cherished individual or the cause at hand, showcasing the powerful nature of the relationship involved.”

My Zoo Experiences

Zoo 2015 Throughout the years, I have had the opportunity to visit the Zoo on multiple occasions, spanning from the 1980s to 2018. During this time, I engaged with various community centers and educational institutions, offering my expertise and support to students.

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.”
