The Yellow Trolley Chronicles: Synopsis Update


The Yellow Trolley Chronicles


Set in fictional Montgomery, Ohio, The Good Girl is about shy artist, dreamer, library aide, devout church goer, and avid bus rider, Josephine Huffman, a young, African American woman destined to go places. With low self esteem, a horrible upbringing, and addictive thirst for living vicariously in romance novels, her world takes a downward spin just as she’s on the brink of discovering her true worth and enjoying a sweet, blossoming companionship with Mick, a trolley bus driver who sees something special in her.

The Bad Seed has Josephine taking art to places she always dreamed of. Finally attending art school in a new city and learning refreshing aspects about her beloved subject, she finds herself torn and isolated from peers and faculty while struggling to find creative identity. With studies not being difficult enough, commitment to an abusive, tumultuous relationship has her tasting darker sides of life, but a fiercely determined heart cannot let go of the simplest truth as her secret friendship to Mick continues deepening.

The Best One concludes Josephine’s poetic journey through art and life. Finally, she bravely emerges away from inflicting abuse and towards Mick, the man she has loved forever, but he has detrimental secrets of his own that could make or break their impending happiness....

Subject to change, of course.
Stay tuned!
Still writing and writing and writing and writing!!!!!

"To Relax or Not To Relax" part of SWAN at the Dayton Metro Library Gallery- February 17-March 30, 2013. It's been a long time, but there's a score of exciting news to report!! One of my drawings from the Roy Lichtenstein Appropriation Series, Soapy Hair Stories is being displayed at the Dayton Metro Library in the Support Women Artists Now (SWAN) Exhibit and the Big Event that includes writers, performance artists, and poetry reading is March 30- International Woman's Day. I have recently accepted the cordial invitation to join the exciting feminist film/TV/media Bitch Flicks blog as a weekly contributing writer starting next month (whoo hoo! such a kudos). So expect Fridays to be put on reading blast of the lady centric point of view variety! ;) I'm really excited to also announce that there's another social media night at the Dayton Art Institute tomorrow from 5:30PM-8:00PM. The next upcoming blog post will summarize "Storm, Watershed, and

The REACH Conference

It was such an honor to be cordially invited to attend the 19th Annual Reaching For Ethnic Awareness and Cultural Heritage Across Dayton (REACH) Conference at Sinclair Community College on Friday February 24, 2012 and to see friends- Willis "Bing" Davis, Betty Bolton, Leesa Haapapuro, James Pate, Kevin Harris, and others in one room while simultaneously meeting new people! A collaboration between Sinclair Community College, Ebonia Gallery, and the Dayton Visual Arts Center (DVAC), REACH is a day long event promoting "learning in the arts and humanities by creating an atmosphere that will build respect, knowledge, appreciation, and understanding for the area's culturally diverse populations." From 8AM to 4PM, this post entails eight hours of rich, implanted seeds that'll likely bear fruit to share..... Beautiful display right? After a lovely continental breakfast to fuel the body, REACH's proceedings got started by co-coordinators Tess

New Sketches

Besides Christmas cards and rubber duck fashion design, I've been exploring a new arena. Ever since I got my results back from 23andme.com and Dr. McDonald, I've been trying to figure out how to create a body of work. Can one make art from being identified as 87.8% African and 12.2% European? Sure. Art is so universal that anything can be! I love the face. The many emotions, the movements, the features. A billion adjectives can describe how much I enjoy creating art about the face! So in combining the research and facial enthusiasm, abstracted portraiture seemed to be my answer. For this upcoming project. The shape of Africa is in various crevices of the human face. The lips are my favorite- I enjoy creating the mouth- its variations of reds, pinks, browns, and purples. It's a feature that seems to stand out the most in my portraits. This isn't any different. The eyes are closed, lashes peering down at that strangely shaped sideways, African continental lips- perhaps a
