Blossoming. 9 * 12. Acrylic on Canvas board April 6, 2023. Afrika Abney

Girls and women are blossoming in all shapes and forms through all of the abuse, stereotypes,

pain, suffering and violence. It is unfortunate that society has become blind sided.

Swirling strokes of blue dominate the scene, interspersed with occasional bright splashes of yellow and red. The colors merge and flow together, creating a sense of dynamic movement and energy.

Oftentimes people 's nature when experiencing grief can be examined in the usage of the color blue drawn from a place of rebirth and elegance.

In nature elements become dried out and the climate becomes humid lacking the supplies of water, shelter and nourishment

Dark Beginnings. Acrylic on canvas. 9 * 12. Afrika Abney. April 6, 2023

Without understanding identity, culture, society, humanity and ethics there is bound to be darkness, yet the colors yellow, red and white represents that there is some hope within the darkness of birth.

Flower Footprints. Acrylic on canvas. 9 * 12. Afrika Abney. April 6, 2023

Walking through various gardens and parks, there are trails of footprints left between the flowers. Different shades of green with hints of yellow depicts outlines of footprints hidden.

Gentle Rain

Gentle Rain. Digital art created on canvas. September 28, 2024. Afrika Abney The season of Autumn 2024 commenced just six days ago, and on this rainy Saturday morning, I woke up from my restful sleep a couple of hours ago. The sound of raindrops tapping against the window provided a soothing backdrop as I prepared to embrace the day ahead. This weekend, I have dedicated my time to focusing on my branding and delving into the creation of my digital artwork, both of which are essential components of my creative journey. Have a creative weekend.

Autumnal Expressions

Autumnal Expressions. Digital art created on canvas. September 29, 2024. Afrika Abney “Autumnal Expressions encapsulate the essence of the fall season, a time when nature undergoes a remarkable transformation. As the days grow shorter and temperatures begin to drop, the landscape is painted in dark brown, deep dark brown, deep red and deep magenta.This seasonal shift not only affects the environment but also evokes a range of emotions and reflections. The beauty of autumnal expressions lies not only in the visual splendor of the season but also in the deeper meanings and emotions it inspires in creativity and productivity.”

Teasing in professional environments

“Teasing in professional environments can often be a nuanced and complex interaction. While light-hearted banter among colleagues can foster camaraderie and enhance team dynamics, it is essential to navigate this territory with caution. The intent behind teasing should always be positive, aimed at building relationships rather than undermining or alienating individuals. When done appropriately, it can serve as a tool for breaking the ice, easing tension, and creating a more relaxed atmosphere conducive to collaboration and creativity. However, the line between playful teasing and inappropriate behavior can be thin, and what may be humorous to one person could be perceived as offensive or disrespectful to another. It is crucial for professionals to be aware of their colleagues' boundaries and cultural sensitivities.
