  This weekend, I was ecstatic to open my first art exhibition, which is now on display at Arts Manifold (7406-K Chapel Hill Road, Raleigh, NC 27607).

::Flashback to February::
  I posted in February of 2013 about an Arts Entrepreneurs' Conference at UNCG that I was considering going to. However, I did not make it to the conference then, but this past February I registered and drove out to Greensboro, NC to attend this year. You can check out the social media feed using #SEAC2014. Anyway, the conference was very helpful and a great place for all kinds of artists to network. This is how my current art show got its wings.
  I met Nicole Canty, Abstract and Experimental Artist and Owner of Arts Manifold at SEAC 2014. We exchanged information and as she was looking for artists to exhibit in her space, I found it to be a great opportunity and followed up with her about it.
  Friday, March 28th was our opening Reception date for my show, but we have another reception being planned due to a lower turn out than expected. Below, please find two pieces that are on display, "The Drum That Spoke" and "Instant Message" along with my Artist Statement for the show and a short picture slideshow. During the reception, I got a chance to explain the inspiration and meanings behind each of the seven acrylic paintings being displayed. Stay tuned for more information about the show or visit www.artsmanifold.com for more information.

Artist Statement
Art and design have been a long time fascination of mine. Returning to the art scene in 2011, after becoming a North Carolina resident allowed me to become part of a growing arts community as well as capture my own feelings and voice them through paint and pencil. This exhibition, my first solo art show, is entitled "Interlingual" to describe the many places I have drawn inspiration from whether it be the language of the natural hair community, the science in being an environmental steward, or the rhythm behind any song that moves my spirit. I hope this work speaks to you. It took a huge leap of faith to leave the dreaming phase and I look forward to the journey ahead.
