Dee Char



Dee Char is a multidisciplinary artist whose works are inspired by found and recycled objects, with expression of the hues of nature. Dee’s work is most often of an abstract nature, and as she has been losing her vision, her art pieces are incorporating vibrancy and dimensionality in the form of contrasts of colors and textures.
You may have seen one of Dee’s public art pieces on Third Street in downtown Dayton between KeOwee and Webster. A 13 foot mural of Carrots on the concrete retaining wall created as part of a beautification project in the Fall of 2012. Dee envisioned and then executed the work with the help of a fellow artist after her entry submission was chosen for the project.

Adelaide Bokone

She thought it was very fun to experiment with textures and materials for this art show, and added an interesting element to her experience given her sensory neurodiversity.

Angel J. Walker



Angel started being artistic at the tender age of seven. She won many many awards in creative drawing, painting & ceramics throughout her life in elementary, middle and high school years. Her artwork was often displayed on the RTA buses in Dayton Ohio as well as being one of the few candidates selected at just 12 years old for her Artwork to be displayed for several years at the prestigious Kettering towers in downtown Dayton. In her adult life, she put down her paint brush for more than a decade to raise her beautiful family. In 2016, Angel found a new inspirational desire to paint again when her mother took deathly ill in the hospital with colon cancer and a brain aneurysm. While waiting what seem to be endless hours and days in the hospital while the nurses were caring for her mother, she began to pick up her paint brush again. This seem to help her to cope through her pain, sorrow and devastation. To ease the feeling of grief Angel decided to give back to the nurses in the hospital that were taking such exceptional care of her mother during this very turbulent time. As each staff member would come into the room they began to request custom handmade pieces. The word spread all over the hospitals. From the emergency rooms to intensive care soon she began blessing each nurse in the hospital with free artwork. Each nurse would find appreciation, hope and inspiration to do their job with zeal. Currently she has created and opened Dayton Urban Street Dance Studio from her home where she now teaches children the love of art drawing and painting, music and dance.In her mother's legacy she continues to still give back to the community in which she lives. Painting and teach children at the Dayton public libraries, churches, recreational parks and the inner city streets of Dayton Ohio.
