Candid Connections

 “Candid about Love (Television Movie 2023) is about Laura, a gallery assistant and wannabe fine-art photographer, is finally promised a spot in a Newcomer's Showcase--but only if she can get a reclusive artist, Shane, to premiere his newest photographs at the gallery.”


I studied photography when I was a student and provided numerous services to galleries. Additionally, I have also had the opportunity to exhibit some of my art in galleries. In any relationship, I strongly believe it is important to be candid. 


I have not revisited Rock Creek Park and the zoo since 2018. I have not returned back to Malcolm X Park since 2015. 


Candid Connections emphasizes the theme of honesty and openness in relationships.

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.”

The colors gold and shades of yellow are deliberately selected to depict optimism, while black represents faith.

Commitment in Genuineness

  Commitment in Genuineness. Digital art created on canvas. December 27, 2024. Afrika Abney  “Vote one for love” which is a television movie released in 2023 is about “when Candace, a up and coming political operative in DC, is sent home to small town Heartstone Wyoming to help win a mayoral race, she is shocked to discover her high school rival is the candidate in question... and possibly the one who can win the vacant seat in her heart!” My hometown is Washington, DC. I never visited Texas nor any part of California. I believe that this movie highlighted the importance of commitment, dedication, devotion, trust, respect, and fully listening to the choices and decisions revolving around the role played by Candace and Derek.
