“DISCOVER YOUR CREATIVE PASSION AND GROW FROM WITHIN...”
ARTSY BRANCHES
“Artsy Branches is the artistic clearinghouse for a variety of creative ideas. Much of the work here results in the skillful interpretation of multiple pathways. Each pathway is given life through careful illustration of numerous ideas and exposures. The collaboration of art, culture and perspective found here will lead to deeper curiosity of the creative process. Surely, the mission here is to further define pathways toward the creative process in an innovative and imaginative way—one ‘artsy branch’ at a time.” -Kenyatta A. Hobson
Enjoy the art, culture & perspective that is to come!
-THE BRANCHES-
ART: Creativity, ethnologic expression and the imagination
Alcohol ink renderings that are organic, intricate and fun to interpret. What do you see here?
When one thinks of art, the idea of aesthetics comes up at one point or the other. The very nature and appreciation for beautiful things seem to be an innate tendency for most. The love of artistic expression—the skills, techniques and practices transcend time.
These artifacts transcend time too.
Enjoy!
Classic imagery that transcends time…
Family Heritage Series, 2009 (Gifted to Meloneal Harris Hobson).
CULTURE: The meaning and practices of everyday life
Alcohol ink/ceramic coasters are a part of my everyday living. Creating these coasters has become a true joy!
Enjoying life is just as much intentional as it is by design. Classic living, simply, involves good taste, lots of planning, moderation and efficiency!
I enjoy socializing, good food, the arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement.
With this, I share customs/traditions, a variety of art forms, the impact of social institutions on our world, and achievements of the human experience.
Classic living that is simple, yet well-designed…
Efficient design of social space and filling blank walls with art is a way of life.
PERSPECTIVE: The Bloggin’ Tree Arts Braintrust
Art Night is always a good opportunity to get your opinion
Open to a world of meditative solitude as I use alcohol ink to awaken the spirit to a colorant display of design.
The morphology of these color cells capture your attention, as much as your heart, and lead you to the consideration of color unimaginable!!!
ENJOY!!!
Classic thought that is subject to critique…
Stay tuned for an Art & Politics Vlog!!!
WHAT’S IN THE GALLERY
The Mix Media Gallery - Expect to see a number of exciting creations in this space. I am a very eclectic artist and work as I am able.
With that, I tend to explore a number of techniques and media at random. Building a body of work takes time and consistent work with a specific media is important.
The gallery will showcase much of what is in store as I build a body of work that we may all appreciate.
Excitement galore!!!
Amazing creations…

Gel Prints & Monoprints - Contemporary art is amazing to consider. The organic impression that I gather from working with gel printing never ceases to amaze me. I look forward to sharing these prints with you!
Commissions & Art Series/Projects—Murals, backdrops and special projects allow a wide range of possibilities—from light construction/set and design to paper, planned and unplanned art series and more.
Collage & Decoupage— Small to medium sized works on wood panels, canvas and high-quality paper—usually with gouache, acrylics and paper/surface friendly media.
Bloggin’ Branch
Interestingly, this “The Bloggin’ Branch” is a space to, simply, be! While the intention here is to be a creativity generator, I look forward to opening your thoughts to life and style perspectives using art as a foundation.
I never restrict my path when on an artistic journey which causes me to wonder and to wander... However, “wondering” and “wandering” proves beneficial as mind-clearing and educational approaches to building ideas together.
So, enjoy the journey! I look forward to hearing what you have to say!
