Magiciticity series was created in 2008-09. The series is based off my very first a story that esculated into a children's book that finally settling into a novel.Writing has always been a creative medieum that sparked my interest but I lacked the confidence it took to be a true writer in the technical sense. I wrote anyway and the resule was this unpublised written work titled called Purple Green Gold. It was a fanasy adventure about three kids from New Orleans that each finds a precious gift in their piece of king cake. All the gifts contains a special powers that help keep the city culture alive and healty. The essense of New Orleans culture is based off of traditions that are past down to each generation. Suddenly Letrice, Frankie and Pricilla started to forget their cultures and traditions and the kids found themselves in a deep pothole that was the portal a strange strange world. The painting and sculptures of this narractive series exhibited at the Lois Lambert Gallery of Funtional Art in Santa Monica Califoria in April of 2009.
