Art at it's BEST!!

Recently I had the opportunity to attend an art exhibition held in LA at the Pounder-Kone Art Space. My good friend Tamara Natalie Madden was one of the artist at the exhibit, her work was shown along side of the AMAZING actress CCH Pounder-Kone. Tamara Natalie Madden is a fine artist whom self-taught herself the craft of painting, she is one of my good friends, I absolutely LOVE HER!! Her art in my words tells a story, behind every painting lies a meaning, a meaning of struggle, joy & happiness. She has various series of work, however her most recent series is of Kings and Queens. Per Tamara Natalie Madden, "she decided to turn regular folk into representations of nobility. It seemed, in her view, to be the only way to allow them to be represented and appreciated for who they were intrinsically; kings, queens and warriors, in their own right, who never had a chance to shine, their austere appearance setting the tone for others to judge them." The paintings are original and handcrafted by her, the use of color is unbelievable and is sure to bring any room in your house ALIVE!!

CCH Pounder-Kone was also full of TALENT she has unique jewelry and is also a photographer. CC was such a sweet woman, she's welcoming and a GREAT person overall. CC was gracious enough to share her story of attending Trinidad Carnival, she had some AWESOME shots of the activities that were going on there. They were so clear and vivid I wanted to know how she enjoyed the experience, she said "She loved it but should had did it when she was about my age. She suggested I do it soon." (I haven't been yet so I am on it!!)

Thanks to both the ladies for having me there! It was a pleasure!! I had the opportunity to met so many people, I am beyond grateful!
