Bio (html accepted)
She uses layers of swirls and strokes to capture sky scenes with a palette of blue, green and magenta. Each of these breathtaking paintings has solid, rotund, sculptural forms unfolding in a majestic symphony. - Misty Brown
If developing a career path is any evidence, native Washingtonian Afrika Abney is a woman who knows what she wants and goes for it.- Jennifer Lash
Afrika is an energizing dancer that puts you in a lively mood when you watch her dance. Petite yet powerful and lively. She is skillful in her steps and moves. Afrika moves with such ease, you may find yourself trying some of her steps. Pleasant, happy, smiling, she makes you feel wonderful.- Sylvia Diane Beverly
In 2008, Afrika Abney worked tirelessly on promoting my young adult book—“Is NO Not Clear Enough for you?” She used her connections and experience to promote my work Internet wide and in many newspapers and weeklies in my home state of Florida. She also created flyers and advertisements for my events. Many things were done before even asking. She is a tireless promoter, with reasonable fees. - Angelia Vernon Menchan, author: Is NO Not Clear Enough For You?; SCHAE’S STORY: A Woman's Transformation; and RAMBLINGS: A Booked Blog
As the testimonials make clear, Afrika M. Asha Abney, a 35 year-old native Washingtonian, is multitalented. Some people have called her a Renaissance Woman. She is an abstract painter, photographer, a traditional West-African dancer, West-African drummer, poet,mother, and consultant. But she hasn’t just used her talents and creative energies to express her own ideas and views of the world. She has dedicated herself to serving her community and has received numerous accolades. Afrika has performed at a wide variety of venues across the East Coast and in West Africa.
