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.

“With the ability to think creatively and outside of the box, employees are more likely to come up with unique and innovative solutions to obstacles they encounter.”

Dating Ethics

Dating co-workers in professional work settings is inappropriate. When employers hired me to provide a specific service from 1995-2018, I will always remain professional. I do not believe in dating my former co-workers of the opposite sex. I will remove myself from the setting first when I have noticed that I developed such attraction. Making a bet and bribing co-workers to go against their standards is unethical. If you have an interest in me, then you should have asked for my contact information. Numerous people do not know me at all. Contact me only by phone at 202-384-5925 Preference - single straight male over the age of 30 I no longer provide educational, career day and free services. It is not the past and I am not interested in dating women nor boys.

Inflation

“In 1989, residents began to advocate for measures that would help mitigate the effects of inflation, seeking relief through various channels, including community organizations and local government initiatives. The economic landscape of Washington D.C. in 1989 thus became a focal point for understanding the broader challenges of inflation in urban settings.” I was 13 during this time, I had witnessed the effects of inflation as a student. 35 years later, it still is an issue in Washington, DC and abroad.

Transformative power of art

1996 Many years ago, I threw away the items shown in this photo. I attended Corcoran from 1993 - 1997. This photo was taken of me in 1996 when I was still at the Corcoran. I studied fine arts at the Corcoran in the 1980s as well. The Corcoran Gallery of Art was formally founded as a public institution in 1869 at the intersection of Seventeenth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue. When the Gallery opened its doors in 1874, art students immediately flocked to the museum to observe, sketch, and paint copies of the collection's famous works. In 1878, William Wilson Corcoran donated additional funding to establish a school associated with the Gallery. When Corcoran passed away in 1888, a small building was built for the purpose of the gallery's burgeoning identity as a place for education in the arts. In 1890, the school officially opened as Corcoran School of Art.By 1897, the flourishing institution had outgrown its original home and moved to its present Downtown campus ...

During the holiday season in the past, I have had the opportunity to develop my skills and career.

DC Black School Leaders

“Nearly 70% of DC principals are black. A majority of those leaders are black women. Over the next few weeks, months, and even years, there will be much questioning about the capabilities and values of a Black and Indian woman on an international stage. This will inevitably be challenging for many people, particularly black women, who are disproportionately subjected to such critique and skepticism. Black women have a vital role in education and, as demonstrated time and again, in our political landscape. If our students are going to experience the consistency, justice and academic experience we know they deserve, taking care of ourselves is not a luxury—it's imperative.” NationHouse Anniversary 1980s I gave away this outfit many years ago. I am a proud alum of NationHouse Positive Action Center, a private African-American school that played a significant role in shaping my identity and instilling a deep sense of cultural pride.
