There’s a new rising artist who’s gaining attention from people worldwide. She goes by the name of Verna Fogg. Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, the rising painter is beginning to create a name for herself within the industry. Her favorite piece that she’s created today is called, Musical Paradise. “There is peace and serenity in music which takes me to paradise.”, says Verna.

Verna Fogg started her artistic journey back in 2013. During this time, she was still working a normal job, but she realized that’s not what she wanted for her life. She then began creating paintings and canvases, and eventually made her first sale in 2015. This was also the year she decided to resign from her job, and move full time into the art industry. Her company V F Artist Inc. was established a year later in 2016.

As of now, Verna Fogg is mainly focused on the creation of mixed media paintings and also 3D customized canvases for her clients. The style she creates is in a lane called “Pop Art,” which is art that is influenced by popular and mass culture. “Mixed Media Art is all about breaking the boundaries between different art forms. No limitations and no restrictions. You can create whatever you want because YOU ARE THE ARTIST. Art helps us humans understand that it is relatable. It is an expression of our experiences, our most personal thoughts, and feelings. Art allows us to see the world in a whole new way. One known fact is that an artist can present imagination, inspiration, and interaction to communities,” says Verna.

Verna definitely shows many qualities of an artist who’s focused and driven to keep creating and becoming a top tier artist. Make sure to follow her on all social media platforms @VernaFoggArtist in order to stay up to date with all future art pieces and canvases from this new age Pop Artist.

Sitting in the dimly lit theater, I had no idea what to expect as the opening credits of “The Firing Squad” began to roll. Little did I know that I was about to embark on an emotional journey that would leave me reaching for tissues and struggling to catch my breath.

The film follows the true story of three Christians facing execution by firing squad in a third world country. Directed by Timothy A. Chey, it features a stellar cast including James Barrington, Kevin Sorbo, and Cuba Gooding Jr. Each actor brings their character to life with such authenticity and depth that it’s impossible not to be fully immersed in their struggles and triumphs.

As the plot unfolded, I found myself drawn into a world of despair and desperation, but also one of unwavering faith and hope. The characters’ journey from darkness to light, from despair to redemption, resonated with me on a deeply personal level. I couldn’t help but be moved by their courage and resilience in the face of unimaginable adversity.

But it was the performances that truly stole the show. James Barrington’s portrayal of the protagonist’s internal turmoil was nothing short of mesmerizing, while Kevin Sorbo and Cuba Gooding Jr. delivered powerhouse performances that left me in awe.

And then there was the message of the film—that no matter how bleak the circumstances may seem, there is always hope. That even in our darkest moments, faith has the power to transform lives and bring about redemption. It was a message that hit me like a ton of bricks, leaving me with tears streaming down my face and a renewed sense of purpose.

As the credits rolled and the lights came up, I found myself struggling to put into words the impact that “The Firing Squad” had on me. All I could manage was, “I cried buckets of tears.” And I wasn’t alone. As I looked around the theater, I saw others wiping their eyes and exchanging emotional glances.

In the end, “The Firing Squad” wasn’t just a movie—it was an experience. An experience that left me feeling inspired, uplifted, and profoundly grateful for the power of cinema to touch the soul. And for that, I will be forever grateful.

The movie is set to premiere in the theatres worldwide on August 2, 2024. And this is definitely a must watch movie, reminding people of the strength of faith.
