while living in illinois, aunia began her art career in 2005 after a friend persuaded her to submit work to an exhibit run by the st. louis artists’ guild called “voices within: surviving through the arts.” not only were the viewers and attendees affected by her beautiful work but it also became a true therapeutic movement of her own. for the next few years, aunia created art as a form of self therapy, working on her heart and mind, vulnerably giving everything of herself to be known. in 2007, she was apart of over 70 art shows nationwide, supporting special causes related to domestic violence and animal cruelty, openly projecting her inspiration live.

Encore une fois, l’art figuratif n’est pas mort, quoique puisse en dire les thuriféraires serviles et vénaux de l’abstraction et du conceptuel.
