Creative Chronicles

 

Creative Chronicles. Digital art created on canvas. October 26, 2024. Afrika Abney 


At the time when digital art began in the 1980s, I was 4 - 13 and a student at NationHouse. I did not start creating digital art until 2009. With over a decade of experience in digital art, I have honed my skills in various techniques and styles. I specialize in creating captivating and visually stunning digital artworks that evoke emotion and tell a story.


Upon waking up from my restful sleep and unaware of the discussions taking place, I began to implement my routine and examine my digital art.
