I think that art is a by-product of culture and experiences
that can be taken, shaped, created and formed on a piece
of canvas or as a sculpture. I look for whatever appeals to
me or catches my eye. First, it’s the colors; then, it’s the
theme that attracts me.

For me, African-American art is a source of inspiration
and meditation.
Divinity’s artistic handiwork is a remarkable
phenomenon. You have all of these creative hearts
sharing glimpses of their inner visions, yet each story
can only be told in part, because canvases are fnite and
artists do have to sleep sometimes. African-American art
renews my creative soul.
Collages are especially captivating (am I biased?)
––other-people’s-trash-turned-into-art. I’m always awe-
struck and tickled by their oxymoronic correctness.
Maria Dowd I had been collecting African-American art for many
Inspirational Author years when I was asked to host one of October Gallery’s
Los Angeles, CA earlier art shows, where I received my frst Annie Lee art
as a gift. I am an avid art collector and own many unique
works of art. I purchased my frst Charles Bibbs piece at
October Gallery’s Art Expo. It hangs at the entrance to
my ofce, and people never fail to comment on it.
