This striking abstract painting showcases a vibrant interplay of yellow and green hues, expertly blended to create a dynamic visual experience. The artist's innovative approach is evident in the way the colors interact, with bold strokes and soft transitions that evoke a sense of movement and energy. The use of yellow brings warmth and optimism, while the green adds a refreshing touch, symbolizing growth and vitality. Together, these colors create a harmonious balance that draws the viewer in, encouraging them to explore the depths of the artwork.


The abstract nature of this painting invites a multitude of interpretations, allowing each viewer to connect with the piece on a personal level. The lack of defined shapes and forms encourages the imagination to wander, prompting reflections on emotions, memories, and experiences. This open-ended quality is a testament to the artist's creativity, as it transforms the canvas into a space for individual exploration and introspection.


I have consistently infused creativity into every strategy and project undertaken.This painting is a culmination of years of experience and a deep understanding of color theory and composition. The result is a piece that not only captivates the eye but also resonates with the soul.

Youtube Channel

“My YouTube channel, which was unexpectedly removed yesterday, had no violations or issues that warranted such action. For the past seven years, I have dedicated my time to sharing my digital art and offering consulting services through this platform. The abrupt removal of my channel has left me perplexed and frustrated, as I have always adhered to the community guidelines and worked diligently to build a positive presence.” Whomever thinks that these types of experiences are humorous are mistaken. I have been providing services as a consultant since I was 15 years old and as an African - American, I am quite frankly tired of experiencing discrimination which I have been experiencing for over 30 years.

The job market in Washington, DC in 1992

    “In 1992, the job market in Washington, D.C. presented a complex landscape for African Americans, marked by both progress and persistent challenges. While the city's burgeoning government sector offered some opportunities, particularly in fields like social services and education, racial disparities remained deeply entrenched. African Americans often faced discriminatory hiring practices, limited access to higher-paying positions, and a concentration in lower-wage, service-oriented jobs. The legacy of segregation and systemic racism continued to impact employment prospects, leading to higher unemployment rates and a widening wealth gap compared to their white counterparts. However, the growing civil rights movement and increasing awareness of racial inequality fostered a climate of activism and advocacy, pushing for greater diversity and inclusion in the workplace. This period saw the rise of organizations and initiatives aimed at addressing these disparities, paving the w...
