Magicity will
be my next series of paintings along with a story book, inspired
by New Orleans, with a universal message that everyone can
relate to.
The idea of Magicity started
out as a picture book, transformed into a children’s
book/novel, then finally into a culmination of all. Once
I started writing, I wanted the story of my characters
Frankie, Pricilla, and Letrice and
there quest to save New Orleans, to be created in more than
a painting medium.
I decided to develop the narrative
aspects of my paintings and focus on a written story equally.
The process has allowed me to explore other creative realms,
which has been exciting and personally rewarding. Over the years,
people
would often ask me the meaning of my paintings. Although
I would give them an answer, I wanted the meaning to be explained
more in-depth. I've always wanted the opportunity to explain
the entire meaning of my artwork. I don’t
mind interpretation, but I would also like people to know what
my work is about in my words.
I
consider this series mixed media of two other creative
genres. Visual Arts and Literary Arts; I intend on expanding “it” to
other creative media, such as a stage play, song, and film.
