Personality Palette

Personality Palette. Personality Palette. Digital art created on canvas. August 15, 2024. Afrika Abney

In my digital artwork, I incorporated the vibrant hue of orange, a color that embodies a multitude of personality traits. Among these traits, I find that I resonate with being generous, optimistic, and creative. The choice of orange in my creations is not merely aesthetic; it reflects my own character and outlook on life. This bold color choice serves as a visual representation of my inner self, showcasing the warmth and enthusiasm I bring to my artistic endeavors.

When I embrace the color orange, I make it clear that I prefer direct communication. I do not engage in passive listening or eavesdropping on conversations around me. If someone wishes to connect or share their thoughts, I encourage them to reach out to me directly. This approach not only fosters clarity in communication but also allows me to focus on my own projects and passions without distraction. I believe that meaningful interactions stem from direct engagement rather than indirect exchanges.

My commitment to the color orange also signifies my dedication to pursuing my own path. I am not particularly interested in the activities or conversations of others, as my focus remains firmly on my own journey. By minding my own business and immersing myself in my creative process, I cultivate an environment where my ideas can flourish. This self-directed approach not only enhances my artistic expression but also reinforces my belief in the importance of individuality as I am an African - American female.

Implementation of innovative strategies

In the upcoming months, specifically from the fall of 2024 through June 2025, I will be focusing on the development and implementation of innovative strategies to enhance the services I offer in the realm of art and consulting. This period will mark a significant transition in my professional approach, as I will no longer be providing complimentary or educational services. Instead, my emphasis will shift towards delivering high-quality, value-driven offerings that align with the evolving needs of my clientele. For those who are interested in engaging my services, whether they are prospective clients or previous clients, it is essential that all requests be submitted in writing. This formal approach will ensure that I can adequately assess and respond to each inquiry with the attention it deserves. By establishing this protocol, I aim to streamline communication and foster a more professional relationship with those seeking my expertise in art and consulting.

Simple White

The necessity for acquiring whiteboards has diminished for me, as I ceased offering educational services back in 2018. Since that time, my focus has shifted entirely. I have been working on my branding and digital art where I utilize various digital applications to express my creativity. In this context, the color white serves a significant purpose, often representing simplicity and clarity in my artistic endeavors. “The concept of Simple White embodies the essence of minimalism, where the purity of the color white acts as an open canvas for creativity and innovation, allowing ideas to flourish without the distractions of complexity. The color white encourages a harmonious balance between creativity and tranquility.”
