The opening reception of the Shifting Seasons Group Exhibition was more than an art event—it was a moment of transformation. Standing beside my vibrant works—Waves of Emotion, Floral Blaze, Shadow Dance, and Rhythm of Shadows—I wore a black and grey turtleneck sweater with black dress pants. My attire was intentional: a visual representation of the grounded professionalism of Wisdom Born Consulting, LLC, and a quiet contrast to the expressive energy of my paintings.
This exhibition marked the public debut of Wisdom Born Designs, the artistic arm of my company. Through this platform, I explore the power of abstract art to tell stories, evoke emotion, and foster healing. Each brushstroke is a reflection of lived experience, cultural memory, and the resilience of communities often overlooked.
But this moment was also deeply personal. For the first time, I stood fully in my truth—not just as a consultant, strategist, or advocate—but as an artist. Owning my identity as an artist means embracing the vulnerability, the vision, and the voice that art demands. It means honoring the creative force that has always been within me, even when it was quiet, waiting for the right time to speak.
The reception was a celebration of transformation. I connected with fellow artists, community members, and supporters who resonated with the themes of movement, emotion, and identity woven into my work. The conversations sparked that night affirmed the importance of integrating art into our broader efforts for social change, education, and community empowerment.
As someone deeply rooted in equity and justice, I’ve long believed that art is a tool for liberation. Through Wisdom Born Designs, I’m committed to creating spaces where creativity and advocacy intersect—where color and canvas become catalysts for dialogue, healing, and action.
