I am a Marine Corps Veteran diagnosed with bipolar disorder. With the help of my wife we are trying to capture the beauty of my wellness journey. Mental illness can be devastating. My experience with it though has fueled part of a creative process involving mindful observation of ruler and compass, the world around me, and sometimes simply enjoying a preoccupying idea to buy time through dark emotional planes.

When Park Place was built in Annapolis, the centerpiece was always envisioned as being a world-class performing arts and conference center that would be a source of pride in the community, promote economic growth, and be the center stage for a wide variety of artistic programs. MC3 has been vigilant in identifying the needs and desires of all of the segments of our community and the surrounding region, including our minority community, our arts and education community, our business community, and more recently our region’s Veteran’s community.

Based in Arnold Maryland, transnational fusion dancer, Della Sztuk found herself in the performance art space by way of accepting an invitation to attend a belly dance class in Greensboro, NC in 2005. Ever since, she has continued to study the traditional dances and music of the Middle East, North Africa, and Turkey, and their contemporary off-shoots, in addition to the dances of her own Pacific Islands heritage.
As a millennial creative female-type person and first-generation Nigerian-American, Chidinma is making a mark in the fine art and graphic design space. Born into a Nigerian artistic family in Washington D.C., the narratives in her works are influenced by her culture and environment. Inspired by African themes, she fuses colors, textures, shapes, and traditional techniques to create images that are iconic and diverse. She is a mixed media artist whose fine art pieces have been showcased in exhibitions in the U.S and Canada.
I am passionate about nature, cities, travel, and landscape.
Colors, line and shape inspire me.
Vibrant or subtle, the textures, layers and movement of the city and the natural environment provide sources for my artwork.
I started making art as a child, constantly getting into paint and experimenting with any new materials I could get my hands on.
In a sense my current art is a continuation of my early exploratory spontaneous process.
My work begins with an underlayment of color and evolves through many layers of paint, pastel, chalk, and other media.
