"DREAM JUMPERS THE INHERITANCE.
by Adrienne La Faye

I would love for you to join my author's page. As some might not know that I've written a Middle-Grade book, and it's in its final stages of re-writes and editing.

The title of my book is; "Dream Jumpers The Inheritance." It is about twins Malia and Micah who inherit the gift of dream jumping, which gives them the ability to jump into the dreams of other children, to help them find ways how to pursue their calling, passion or career paths.

GENRE: Fantasy based on real life with science fiction environment that teaches Sister & Brother how to become jumpers. Then they must help other kids all the while they're struggling with their inadequacies of growing up too.

I've created a pre-order list for to sign up for to be one of the firsts to purchase your copy of the book.
Keep in mind this going to one of the first commercial African American books ever to be published. Can't you imagine how your kids, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and godchildren will be excited and lifted up when you buy this book for them? They'll be able to see their selves in a book, for one of the first times in their lives.

Thank you,
Adrienne

Sometimes when you win you really lose!!!!

2013-09-09T16:02:00.003-07:00

I had a full weekend filled with ART. I went to the gallery, where I was honored to be chosen to be the "BEST IN SHOW" with my painting
titled "HIGH/DRUNK LOCKED OUT". I have to say to my disbelief I was disappointed with the venue. It seemed like they organizers didn't put any thought into displaying the artwork and the walls themselves were dirty. I was embarrassed because I had invited friends and colleagues to come and support me. I could tell everyone was surprised and shocked that there were only like 6 other paintings by other artist and you can immediately tell they were amateurs by the work that they submitted. Yes I won best in show but it was only because of the other submissions....it was like winning by default. Lesson: Checkout the organization before you submit your art work because you should be proud (not only because you've won) and happy to be included in the process of showing your work, and if not, then it's not worth it.
However I'm still honored to be recognized for my work ill regardless of the out come.
Also I was asked to show my full 12 painting Crack series next February as a solo show. I said yes but I will pray and think about if this is the best way to go. I mean I think it would be boost for their gallery and have more people take them seriously and also I want to show my series and I have to face it so far no one is blowing up my phone asking me to do a solo show....I WILL PRAY ABOUT IT...and see what GOD says....

Rainier Beach Art Walk!!!

2013-09-07T22:28:00.002-07:00

I was at the Rainier Beach art walk today and had a terrific time.
I sold a lot of prints and it was a fun and a great time.
I would like to thank everyone who came out and supported the art walk and particularly to those who bought and supported my work.

My wife Trina sold her hinney off.......we had so much fun last year we thought lets try it again year. We've already decided we'll be there next year!!!!

2013-09-06T22:41:00.005-07:00

So tomorrow I'll have a booth at the Rainier Beach art walk, from 11am -3pm. Everything I've read on the Rainier Beach fb page it looks like this is going to be the best year so far. It's the third year, I've participated for last year and this will be my second year.
I had so much fun last year because I didn't expect so much feedback for my art work. It was really nice to get good and bad
remarks.
On Sunday I have two show's that will be exhibiting my work and I have to attend both...
It just so happens the first one is from 2pm-5pm, the second one is
from 5pm-8pm. The crazy thing about the timing and the day that
they both are taking place is I couldn't remember what day the exhibits were taking place. I kept hearing the same date but I thought I was forgetting the other because there wasn't a difference.
Finally I got it figured out and it's going to work out just fine because they're both are back to back. Only God could have seen this one.
Oh yeah in case you haven't heard yet....I won Best in Show with
Capitol Hill art walk association.....whoo hoo.....
Alright...I finished for tonight...
Gn,

Upcoming Shows and Conversations!!!!

2012-10-29T16:55:00.001-07:00

I have more great news!!!!! I've been selected to exhibit in another show....woo hoo.
Another task I've been honored with is to participate in an artist conversation about my work that's currently being exhibited at UH Wallingford. I'm so excited because I was asked because all of the diaglogue my paintings created after they were on exhibition.
I wasn't asked originally because the three who were to participate are well known artist, but after my paintings were shown, different ones requested that I be included in the conversation.

I must always give God the glory and all the praise for all of his blessings.
The best is yet to come!!! This is only the beginning!!!

Not only did they want me to show my work but they let me know it was going to be

I finished my latest series....whoo....hoo.....tyj.

2011-08-04T01:09:00.000-07:00

Hey Everone, I've finished my latest series of paintings. I'm so happy and at the same time I'm done with that, so done.
I've won an Award for one of my paintings in a art show that I recently entered. I'm very proud of myself and it feels good to be acknowledged by my peers.

Number eleven.....I'm loving it......

2011-06-30T02:17:00.001-07:00

I'm almost finished with painting number eleven. This was one of the easiest paintings for me. When it flows without any thought, it's like I'm a in a zone and I can't be stopped. Being in a Zone is the ultimate experience and feeling that I'm going to have to try to explain. First of all time goes by without me glancing at the clock. Then I at times feel so happy and at the same time want to cry. Then I walk around and can't believe my great fortune that I get to paint for a living. Well almost a living.....I'm still working on that....but it will happen.
deuces.....
