The Silk Road International Art Exhibition 2018

While I have recently moved to Shanghai, somehow in all the packing, shipping and planning I was able to successfully participate in the Silk Road International Art Exhibition which kicked off in September after I started my new job in teaching drama. Yep. In my ideal world I would board a flight and make an appearance in my ideal outfit and pose by my painting all day as an opportunity to network and expand. These are the moments that we should be present to tap our shoulders for all the lonely hard work we put into growing up the canvas. Enough said, here are a few photos I received thanks to reliable friends. Grenada- First on left by Tricia Bethel 2018

Children Are Still Our Future

Children are still our future Acrylics and Fabric on Canvas 24 x 30 Inches 2021 Children are still our future. In this painting I wish to highlight Black History Month and embrace the entire range of colors that comes with being black. Some people tend to think that only dark complexion individuals are regarded as black. This is untrue. Hybrids are often misjudged for their identity and suffer a dilemma of not feeling true inclusion. This painting also embraces children and their importance in the world. Their need to be cared and loved and treated kindly, especially colored children who are socially or economically challenged and bear the brunt of the struggle to make ends meet. Some are struggling to cope with abuse at home and rape among other issues. For this Black History Month let us embrace our range of melanin and appreciate each other more. I use African fabric in my art and synthetic braids to enhance the beauty of Afro hair. Finally I will be adding quotes submitted by

Szummer Pride Art Exhibition 2018

Last Saturday I was proud to participate in Szummer Pride at the OCT Loft in Shenzhen. As far as effort goes, I have been keeping active in the art world. The exhibition was a kick-start to the month long celebration of gay pride and culture in Shenzhen. Although I am not one of them, I do have friends who are gay and I understand their need to be heard and understood. Here are the highlights in pictures. The night started around 8 pm while I was having a delicious dinner on the first floor. Speeches after speeches I was hoping would end since I was already tired from a short trip to Hong Kong (art related mostly). I finally got a chance to stand by my painting. Below is a description of what it entails. Since I was there with friends, I took some photos with them as well. The night ended with me singing a Jazz song and heading home exhausted but accomplished. Left & Right: Friends from Armenia.
