Kobina Wright Removes More Art Work By End of July

July 25, 2014 - PRLog -- Artist and writer, Kobina Wright, has announced today, that she will be removing her art work from Imagekind by the end of July 2014. She has made a number of her black ink sketches available on the company’s website,  www.Imagekind.com, since July 27, 2011.

Currently Wright has seven ink sketch images available on the Imagekind.  Among them are works titled: “Three Four 5;” “Entrails of Aging;” “Plaid Mushroom Resting Gourd;” “Square Biz,” a sketch dedicated to the late Tina Marie; “Flip;” “Boxquet” and “Bracelet Root.”

Wright is currently working on a series of essays that reflect her life and childhood and this year has been published in a variety of publications in recent years including, in 2014, Blackberry, Blue Lake Review and  Extract(s).

She is a second generation Southern California native and attended the University of Georgia for two years before transferring to California State University, Fullerton, where she earned her BA in journalism, minoring in Afro-Ethnic Studies.

Performing on stage since the age of 5, Wright took to the arts of acting, singing and dancing early in her childhood and by the time she reached her mid-teens, she began taking her painting seriously.  A portion of her painting titled "Dissonance" can be found on the cover of the first printing of second book titled "Growth Spurt."   In her teens Wright also began studying choreography and in her third year of high school, co-founded the dance group "Ten Rows of Beans."   Also in this year, with the help of her mother, Ernesta Wright, published her first book, a volume of poetry titled "Oh Yeah!" to help offset the cost of college expenses.

While attending the University of Georgia, Wright joined and performed with the dance group Pamoja. In Georgia, she had the opportunity to study modern dance and four years later, while attending California State University, Fullerton, founded the Likizo Dance Troupe, which performed for two years throughout Southern California, from Hollywood to San Diego. After graduating from CSUF, Wright published her second volume of poetry, "Growth Spurt" and worked as an assistant editor at Entrepreneur Press.

Pursuing her passion for acting, Wright attended the Gloria Gifford Conservatory for the Performing Arts where she discovered that her training in acting made her a better writer. At the GGC, Wright performed scenes from plays such as "Laundry and Bourbon;" "The Dreamer Examines His Pillow;" "Cheaters;" and "Savage in Limbo." She also directed a reading of scenes from her screenplay titled, "Snapped Back." Her experience at the GGC was instrumental in preparing her for her roles in movies such as "Sunday Morning Stripper;" "Messed in the Head;" and her notable performance in the horror film, "Dark Town."

Currently, she is the editor and contributor to The Wrighter, an arts and culture blog.  She wrote her third volume of poetry titled, "Say It! Say Gen-o-cide!!" − dedicated to the Rwandan Genocide of 1994. In 2009 Wright co-authored a volume of nuler poetry with friend and fellow poet, Lisa Bartley Lacey, titled "A Crime And A Simplification Of Something Sublime." In 2010 she wrote a volume of nuler poetry titled, "50" dedicated to the late Michael Jackson.
