First noncommissioned painting in years! (Thanks Ms.Bell for being a great model) Painted this to raffle away prints at the paint party I will be teaching this weekend! 100% of the proceeds will go to SnapCo which is an amazing organization that helps bring the arts, leadership skills and so much more to kids.

One year of being my own boss! Thanking everyone who encouraged and supported me along the way! Thanking God for this journey! I am hoping to teach a free class on how to sell products online soon at my local community center so others can take advantage of this ecommerce boom we are seeing. Also, my first book is out (working on another about mental health)! It's available on Amazon but it will soon be available more places (for cheaper lol). Type in Colorfully Me at the search and find the image below. Thanks again for all the love. Hoping this book touches hearts! #blessed #coloringpage #coloringbook #afroart #africanart #artist #art #arteducation #positiveblackimages #blackownedbusiness #arteducation #colorfullyme #naturalhair #drawing #blackartist #illustration #love #thankful https://www.instagram.com/p/B2Hd5_qhO69/?igshid=fftw9k3soyyg

Feeling so blessed! I had a chance to see my former student @lee_juaso showcase his amazing art at one of his first art shows. Check out his website juasographics.com So proud! I hope those college classes are ready for you! Happy I snagged an original! Then I got to see one of the artists who encouraged me (and made me cry lol) at my first art show! Edwin Lester @artistedwinlester www.artistedwinlester.com this guy is on a different level yet so kind and humble. Thankful to just share the love of God and love of art with these guys. 🙌🏾🖼️ https://www.instagram.com/p/B0fRCa-njKe/?igshid=chcqawcarwuc

10 years of teaching coming to an end 😭😭😭 Maybe I will return someday. Thankful for all the students and amazing coworkers from Sheridan, Khepera and Barton. Thanking God for such incredible experiences while teaching and also for multiplying my talents so that now I can be my own boss as an artist. 🖌 So begins the next chapter in life! 💃

It broke my heart to hear many students tell me how they live in fear because of the current administration. But I am so happy to see parents cry when they read the message "All are Welcome Here" in many different languages on our mural. You can see the hope in their eyes. So happy to work with Artist Lynn Denton to create a mosaic mural made with the art from our students. Thank you Beth Hartman, Nancy Francis, Fatimah Hernandez, Patrick Urban, Colleen Bowen, Lynetta Funchess, the Picasso Project and all those who donated and gave their time for our students and community. Thank you. #art #arteducation #mural #mosaic #unity #love #hope #picassoproject #thankful (at Clara Barton School)

This Wednesday is our mural unveiling! It's finally hitting me that all of our hard work these past 5 months are coming to an end! After many candy sales, paint parties, volunteer requests, donations and other whacky fundraisers it's finally finished! Thank you amazing donors Janet G, Jaqui S, Deonn H, Kim T and many more I will thank personally later this week! My kids and I appreciate it more than you know. #art #arteducation #artteacher #savetheartd #picassoproject #thankful
