African - American Journey

African - American Journey. Digital art created on canvas. August 14, 2024. Afrika Abney

Growing up in the vibrant city of Washington, DC, I have been shaped by the rich tapestry of experiences that come with being an African-American woman. My journey is deeply rooted in the history and culture of my community, which has inspired me to express my identity through art.

One of my most significant artistic expressions is a piece I titled "African-American Journey." This abstract digital painting is a celebration of my pride in my culture, utilizing a diverse palette of browns and blacks to convey the depth and richness of the African-American experience. Each stroke and shade represents not only my personal narrative but also the collective stories of resilience, strength, and beauty

Ocean Waves is an abstract painting created in 2023 and features a captivating swirl of blue and green, evoking the dynamic essence of ocean waves. The fluid composition reflects the swift flow of life, with varying shades that symbolize growth and transformation.

Dating Ethics

Dating co-workers in professional work settings is inappropriate. When employers hire me to provide a specific service as a consultant, I will always remain professional. I do not believe in dating my former co-workers of the opposite sex. I will remove myself from the setting first when I have noticed that I developed such attraction. Making a bet and bribing co-workers to go against their standards is unethical. If you have an interest in me, then you should have asked for my contact information. Numerous people do not know me at all. Contact me only by phone at 202-384-5925 Preference - single straight male over the age of 30 It is not the past and I am not interested in dating women nor boys.
