Rashaan on herself:
I’m passionate, carefree and very silly. I’m currently working on allowing myself to be my most true, powerful and beautiful authentic self ever, it’s taking quite a bit of practice but gosh darn it I’m going to get it down because life is short!
I love kisses, the color fuchsia, and giggling. My best conversations are with children because they are free, honest and open to love. My art is described as having duende [spirit, blood, passion, depth, a visceral element]. I also believe there are only two ways to live your life, based on fear or love. If you pick love, your everyday life can start to seem kind of magical. I like that.
Beautiful. Colourful. Inspiring. And yes, magical.

I love the colours and the limited use of solid lines – I’m not sure why; perhaps it is the artistic manifestation of you having uncovered a ‘fluid’ sense of self during the course of your ontological quest! If so, it is a sentiment I share in relation to myself.
just an idea – maybe love can be scary sometimes…and perhaps fear gives us the the humility we need in our interactions with others…
wonderful work! very thought provoking!

Very nice paintings! I love the saturation of the colors. I especially like the mixed media on album colors and the Wonder Woman paintings. Best of luck to you and keep up the good work!
