How amazing are these works by . Measuring 24”x30”, gallery thickness, they are ready to become the Center piece on your walls. These works will be on display from Oct 1 -31, 2021. Gallery hours will be posted weekly.

On a personal note, I am so excited to have Keshida’s work in the gallery as we’ve known each other since my NYC days. Keshida is a magical human, who has always shone bright. You can feel his energy beaming from his work.

Read Keshida’s Bio and artist statement below.

Serenity (artwork on the left):
In preparation for a life partner one must feed there soul with happiness first. Then a life can begin with love in it.

Guiding Light (artwork on the right):
Every blink of your eyes gives you clarity to see the truth. The largest star in our universe is the Sun. All living organisms need this light and energy for sustainable life to exist. I pray the next blink of your eyes makes it crystal clear that we are nothing without it. 

Bio:
“My work comes from the inner most expressions of myself. Being primarily self- taught, When I look at a white blank canvas before I drown it in color I think to myself what does it feel like to be almost invisible...” And then my hands begin to make love to the paint brush- hair woven together and binded by metal and wood that helps me tell a story of someone’s heart. A place love could be or where there is no love but lustful color and drunken dreams.” I believe to be creative is to be fearless; to expose yourself without reservation”

Keshida Layone is a self-taught abstract Mixed Media painter from New York.

I’m also happy to announce that creative expression for adults will begin on Oct 7th. My intention is to create a safe space for people to unleash through creation. Not just through the physical space but through conversation, support, vision and nurturing creativity. Classes will involve music, movement and meditation as vehicles to create artwork.

I’m SO excited to announce a creative expression class for tweens and teens (ages 12-16). This class will encourage and guide creation through mixed media projects, including painting collage, drawing and more. Learning how art can help process emotions and tuning into your inner voice to guide you along the way, will be an important focus in this class. Spots are limited. Click on link in bio to register.
