Brilliant Brushes. Art for Everyone.
In the heart of Silver Spring, MD, a tale unfolds, woven with threads of resilience and painted with hues of triumph. Born into a world that has often misunderstood the beauty in service, my journey commenced at the hands of my Veteran father, Randolph Thomas Mosely Sr, who was severely injured and honorably discharged. He had recently finished a tour in Vietnam, only to begin the tour of fatherhood. This journey, marked by the struggles of pain, uncertainty, and homelessness, yet reassured in love and hope for a better future began with my father when I was three weeks old. My biological mother dropped me off with my father while he was laying on his stomach with a broken back because my complexion was too dark.
Under the canvas of the Lincoln Park Housing Center, becoming homeless after no longer being able to live with other family members, my father and I sought refuge, the car our sanctuary beneath the stars. It was there that fate, dressed as a housing specialist, saw us sleeping and ushered us into the warmth of a two-bedroom townhome at 5 Moore Dr in Rockville. In the crucible of adversity, my father emerged as a sage, teaching me the melodies of drawing, the poetry of music, the alchemy of cooking, and the sacred dance of planting—the rhythms that would echo throughout my life.
As a mere toddler of three, I was captured on film, hands adorned with color, bringing life to the canvas of my imagination. Little did the world know that this artistic spirit, kindled at such a tender age, would blossom into a flourishing business nestled in the embrace of Germantown, MD. The tapestry of my artistic soul deepened as I bartered babysitting services for painting lessons at the age of 12, laying the foundation for a career that spans over three decades. In the corridors of education, a path less traveled beckoned, leading me to college at the ripe age of 15, where I earned my associate’s degree from CCAC and later a bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Strayer University. Today, I stand as an entrepreneur, artist, art teacher, and certified life coach—an embodiment of Maya Angelou's belief that "my mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive, and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style."
In the symphony of life, adversity whispered but did not dictate. I have fallen off of a cliff and landed on my feet, I even broke my back in three places and was told that I would never be able to walk, have children, nor live a normal life, but nevertheless, she persisted. From a little black homeless girl, I have defied the odds, my artwork finding a home in the private collection of billionaire Stefan Soloviev and resonating in the hearts of international dignitaries. The embrace of my local community, a chorus of support, paints a mural of triumph against the canvas of societal expectations.
Guided by the principles of kindness, authenticity, and service—a harmony encapsulated by the rhythm of 5x5 which states, in 5 minutes, you will calm down, and in 5 years it won’t matter—I believe in the transformative power of determination. "No" is but a prelude to "not yet," a mantra that reverberates through my life. In the realm of mental health and caregiving, my art becomes a sanctuary, a place where weary souls find solace, release stress, and create masterpieces of healing.
My life, much like a Maya Angelou poem, is a testament to the indomitable spirit that rises, transcends, and dances against the backdrop of adversity. I am a symphony of resilience, an ode to the beauty that emerges when we dare to embrace our own unique melody within the cacophony of life and fast colors.
