Creative Integrity

  Creative Integrity. Digital art created on canvas. October 3, 2024. Afrika Abney  According to my research, “shades of blue have many symbols. Light blue instills principles such as tranquility and understanding, both are crucial in the creation of art. Whereas, medium blue instills principles such as trust, creativity, calm and importance. Each of these aspects are significant in understanding the elements for creativity and the ability to trust that the final product will lead to successful results. Lastly, dark blue instills integrity which lies in the concept of doing the right thing.” I chose shades of blue to create my digital abstract painting because of the symbolism and the harmony between each shade. Creative Integrity depicts the importance of ensuring that I have presented the right message behind my digital abstract painting using a comprehensive creative process and method.

How I find work with a diverse background?

  " With a retainer, clients pay a set amount each month in exchange for using your services as needed—perhaps for a set number of hours—rather than signing a contract for one specific project.

Sphere of Brushstrokes

  Sphere of Brushstrokes. Digital art created on canvas. October 30, 2024. Afrika Abney  I have no clue what you are discussing. What I do know is that in 1985, I was a student at NationHouse and I do not have anything to be ashamed about. Nor do I have regrets. This is what happens when you do not ask questions when you see me. It is no longer the past. It is almost November 2024. 

Discovering Me…Without You Essay Contest

Discovering Me…Without You Essay Contest was launched in 2019 by the Fatherless Daughter Empowerment Project, a division of Esther Productions Inc. The essay contest is designed to educate the public about the importance of fathers in the lives and development of girls and women. Nationally, more than 24 million children are growing up in homes without their fathers. In the Washington Metropolitan region at least 60 percent of homes are single parent households, many of them headed by women. The contest is intended to provide a platform for some of those children, particularly fatherless girls. Most importantly, the teen girls are asked to reveal that story of self-discovery: how she has come to know her worth and value; how she has come to recognize her imperfections but also her strengths; and how she believes she can succeed in the world despite the challenge of fatherlessness. If you know a teen girl that is interested in submitting their essay for the 4th Annual Essay Contest pre...

Rain Tones

Rain Tones. Digital art created on canvas. September 16, 2024. Afrika Abney “The colors of rain, while often perceived as simply colorless, actually encompass a spectrum of grays, from the palest dove gray to a steely, almost charcoal hue. This subtle palette is dictated by the light interacting with the water droplets and the surrounding atmosphere. And speaking of rain, the forecast for this week is decidedly wet. Painting the landscape in shades of gray, from the soft mist of a drizzle to the heavier, more dramatic washes of a downpour. It's a reminder that even in the absence of vibrant hues, there's an inherent beauty in the simplicity of rain's muted tones.”
