Artist Information Sheet

Artist                           Afrika Midnight Asha Abney

Artist Statement         Art is an important expression of life that documents the thoughts, experiences, and traditions of an individual.  Art is the power to create a specific piece using various materials hightened by tone, volume, depth, and definition.  Art is the tool for healing the mind, body and spirit. Art is the colors that glow upon the eyes of both the artist and the viewer. Art is the beauty of the human eye.

The artist frequently is engaged in a dual relationship: one with the materials used for creation; the other with the perceived audience. Allowing the audience to gather its own perspective and to find its own story.

I believe it is truly a blessing to be an artist.

For Art comes natural to me.

Style                            Abstract
