Acclaimed Multi-Talented Southeast Queens Artist Paints A Beautiful View For Business

Like many of our neighbors of Caribbean heritage Audley Geo Smith, is a resourceful and resilient person with global sophistication.  Smith has come a long way from his roots in the Caribbean and later stints in England to set up an eclectic art gallery/studio business on Linden Blvd, in St. Albans.  St. Albans, Queens, New York, has always been a community of strivers, celebrities, sports stars, activists, and successful business moguls for decades.

James Brown, Joe Louis, Count Basie, WEB DuBois, John Coltrane, Daymond Johns, Ella Fitzgerald, Richard Parsons, are just a small slice of the exceptional luminaries from the area.  Audley, is another highly gifted resident of Southeast Queens.  He is an unique renaissance man in the true sense of the word - and a great resource for the community. Mr. Smith is an expert photographer, fine artist, painting instructor, framer, and community leader/activist for those in the arts in the area.  He showcases many of his skill sets and aplomb in his recent gallery opening of Geo's Art Expression, at 194-09 Linden Blvd, St. Albans, 11412.

Mr. Smith was born in Manchester, Jamaica, but also has lived in England, and France, which accentuated his art knowledge and skills.  He once owned an art gallery in Jamaica and was looking to start a gallery again in his life.  As you can imagine it was a quite a difference in living abroad and the United States.  
Audley "Geo" Smith

However, once settled in Audley, has long been involved with advocating for the arts in Southeast Queens, New York City.  He has been President of The Alliance of Queens Artists.  He is an expert photographer who has also been involved in the Southeast Queens Camera Club.

Moreover, Mr. Smith, is an extraordinary award winning painter, who has merged his photography skills together with his art in a beautiful synergy.  The result is him creating some truly awe inspiring art that he offers for sale at his gallery in Southeast, Queens along with the creative works of other artists.

Furthermore, he offers exquisite framing and even hosts effective fun and instructional "Sip and Paint" painting lessons some Sundays during the month.  He does wedding and special occasion photography, custom framing, photo shoots, and parties.  You can see more of his art and services by visiting his website at www.GeosArtExpression.com or give him a call at 718-276-6215.     



Geo's Art Expression is a great resource for original fine art

Discover How This 10-Year Old Black CEO Achieved National Distribution For Her Popular Invention

10-Year old Black CEO, Gabrielle Goodwin, Founder of Gabby Bows, gets distribution for her popular invention in Once Upon a Child Stores across the country.

Nationwide — Elementary entrepreneur Gabrielle Goodwin is now selling her hair accessory invention Gabby Bows in 50 Once Upon a Child stores in 16 states across the US. With the help of her mom Rozalynn, the 10 year-old CEO solved the age-old problem of disappearing girls’ hair barrettes by inventing The Double-Face Double-Snap Barrette by Gabby.

Gabrielle was just five years old when she started daily insisting she and her Mom create a barrette that would stay in her hair. They started the company when Gabrielle was seven years old. In just three years of operations, Gabby Bows have saved families time, money and frustration in all 50 states and eight countries through online sales at www.gabbybows.com.

A straight-A student, Gabrielle is the self-proclaimed President and CEO, handling inventory, serving as the lead saleswoman at trade shows, speaking to community groups and schools, personally writing thank you cards to customers who order online, and helping with sales taxes. She also hosts Gabby Play Dates to teach girls in children’s shelters about entrepreneurship.

In 2015, Gabrielle was named the youngest ever South Carolina Young Entrepreneur of the Year.

The following year, she and her mom were named a 2016 SCORE and Sam’s Club American Small Business Champion, and awarded as the 2016 SCORE Foundation Outstanding Diverse Business of the Year.

A children’s book about Gabrielle and Gabby Bows, “Gabby Invents the Perfect Hair Bow” will be published by Entrepreneur Kid this summer.  “It feels really good to walk in a store and see your own product on the shelves! I am grateful to have a lot of supporters and be expanding.” says Gabrielle Goodwin.
