Branding Initiative Palette



Branding Initiative Palette. Digital art created on canvas. September 29, 2024. Afrika Abney

In 2021, I developed a branding initiative that reflects my expertise as a professional visual artist and art consultant. “Furthermore, this initiative aims to create a cohesive image that resonates with both the artistic community and potential clients. By emphasizing unique artistic styles and consulting expertise, the initiative seeks to differentiate these professionals in a competitive market.

By creating engaging content that showcases my work and expertise, the branding effort will not only build a loyal following but also facilitate networking opportunities within the art community. This multifaceted approach aims to establish a lasting presence in the art world, ultimately leading to increased visibility, credibility, and business growth for the professionals involved.”

Forward-looking approach

  I kindly request that you refrain from repeatedly inquiring about the events of 1993. At that time, I was merely 16 years old, and the context of those years may not hold the same significance for me as it does for you.

Summer Sunsets

  " Research shows that sunsets have many psychological effects that  enhance the long-lasting satisfaction of in life and physical benefits and have been proven to relieve stress.  Things that can enhance the colors of the sunset include smoke particles, dust, smog, and basically any increased number of tiny aerosols in the upper levels of the atmosphere. This enhances the scattering effect and allows for more yellow, orange, and red to reach out eyes leading to better sunsets.  And if you want to do a sunset, use warm and dark saturated colors, like  red, orange, magenta and purple." “Sunset shows that life is too beautiful to hold on to the past, so move on to the present.” - Author Unknown Summer Sunsets.
