TeMika Grooms
|
TeMika Grooms is an Atlanta-based artist, author and arts advocate. Her interest in art and storytelling began early in life under the influence of her mother, an artist, educator and librarian. Creative art practices provided TeMika with an outlet during challenging transitional periods as a military child settling in Columbus, Georgia. Under the direction of wonderful teachers, she was provided a well-rounded education that supported her artistic talent and ability to capture and animate the human form with strong, fluid lines and expressive movement. To expand on her traditional art making skills, TeMika is exploring the use of technology in art by creating digital paintings and surveying new avenues to bring interactive art to the public.
TeMika was selected for the international 2008 Taller Norte Portobelo Artist-in-Residence program to work on illustrated sequential art project and present an art workshop to Spanish-speaking children in Portobelo, Panama. Since that time, she has produced multiple books and community art programs to support creative initiatives. She currently works with the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators Board of Advisors Diversity and Inclusivity Committee to impact the inclusion of diverse voices within the children’s book publishing industry.
