Be it a voice, a means, a statement, a truth. Art has many forms and reasons. But it's a way of action, thought, and a way to put meaning into our existence and innovations. Throughout history, each artist made their art a matter of trying to make it the standard compared to a what? Only to conclude, the point of art, the standard, doesn't exist. Ultimately, Art is whatever you, the artist and audience, make of it.
"I'm fascinated with the stories that we tell. Real histories become fantasies and fairy tales, morality tales and fables. There's something interesting and funny and perverse about the way fairytale sometimes passes for history, for truth." -Kara Walker

The ultimate plan is for the artist to better their artistry and broaden the concept of art. They wish to expand the company to offer Art workshops that deal with researching the lives of Black girls and younger Black women would assist with my goals of being an Avant-Garde artist and writer by making me come up with better stories, study new topics, discuss a section revolving around Black femmes, and better my ability to bring black women into the light. As well, as to promote other Black Femmes.
“Maya's portraits are amazing. She did one of my friends and her twin two-year-olds, and I gave it to them for their birthday - they were thrilled! What an unique gift. I will be keeping it in mind for future gifts.” - April Woodall
