KHALID THOMPSON describes his art as a creative fusion of Afro diaspora, African, and Western cultural disciplines designed to create a cosmology of emotive dynamism. “A feeling of emotional purity comes over me while in the process of painting abstractly. Purity in the sense that there is no filter; my emotions unhinged from my ego flow freely from painting to painting.”

With a degree in English from UMBC, self-taught artist, RAM BRISUENO, took his poetry and began painting around them, and literally on them. Ram considers himself a collagist focusing on form, color, and stories within his paintings using acrylics, watercolors, found objects and mixed media in a collage of textures, sculptural objects and details, layered within unique and hidden narratives.

FRANCESCA BRITTON’S abstract compositions are inspired by the multifaceted and layered aspects of life. Originally a painter of realism, Britton’s current work focuses on layered abstract imagery often suggestive of clouds, through which glimpses of brick and plant-life are revealed. Britton has a long career as art teacher and counselor at Benjamin Banneker Academic High School, Washington, D.C.

‘Classroom on Wheels’ Teaches Woodworking Skills to Young People
Margery Goldberg, Zenith’s director, said the goal of the Woodshop is “to get people jobs.” Goldberg is an artist, wood sculptor and longtime member of the D.C. art community. She had long dreamed of creating a mobile woodshop to assist students. That dream finally came true in 2020, when the city gave her a large grant for the program.
