the Art of abstract designing with buttons

JOCELYN ALSTON 


  Who is the artist “Jocelyn Alston” . . .

In my previous  life, I was a career Federal Employee. 

There are certain things that I love without bounds, to include the Lord, my Family, Friends and my “endless desire” to create art!!  My artistic side has always been there operating right below my consciousness, and creative surface; however, exploded once I could devote more attention to it, and through the encouragement of my Family and Friends.  My creative spirit is expressed in various media types and repeatedly speaks to, and through me. 

I often return to my original pieces to continue developing their “ever-evolving” story.   I love, love, love my artistic side…the shades of colors, the shapes and various lives of each piece, as they speak to me, is uniquely distinctive!!!

I was born in Philadelphia, PA, attended and graduated from universities in Philadelphia, PA, before traveling the country, and eventually settling in Waldorf, MD.   I also attended the “School 33 Art Center” in Baltimore, MD, where my love of charcoals, and oil painting art was further nurtured; however, for the most part, I honed what I know about art, from communicating and watching other talented and gifted artists. 

Recently, I was selected as a participant in the 2023“Spectacular Black Girls Art Show” event, held in Philadelphia, PA, at The Arts Ballroom, Philadelphia, PA, 14 May 2023. I once again have been blessed to be a participant in the 12 November 2023, “Spectacular Black Girls Art Show” event, to be held in Philadelphia, PA.  I have also had two of my art pieces displayed at the “Kulture Art Gallery”, in Waldorf, MD, during June and July 2023.

Who am I truly…….I am really just a “down to Earth”, Lady from the urban “Eagle” land of Philadelphia, who has been fortunate enough to have traveled many places in the world; however, still maintains her love for Family and Friends?

I live my life by striving to be kind to my fellow man, and trying to make my Ancestors proud!   I surely hope to have done just that through my art! 

I am truly honored to be October’s featured artist for “From One Hand To Another’s (FOHTA’s) Gallery” Art Showcase, Arlington, VA!!!

  This is a biographical odyssey of a child becoming a teenager, and the teenager becoming an adult, with music as her backdrop. The DJ Lovely Story, is a true story told through the eyes of a mother who nurtured and supported her daughter's love for music. The story begins with the importance of community, faith, and family values. As the story continues it chronologically documents the journey of DJ Lovely through life experiences, friends, music and all the way to becoming a senior executive at a major music company.  It's a story to inspire children to always stay true to themselves and to encourage parents to give children chance to dream even if their dreams don't align with theirs.
