cyb4ever: Art for All Occasions ®, also known as 'cyb4ever' was founded by artist Crystal Y. Brown-Battle in 2002. Defined as "a lifetime of self-fulfillment," cyb4ever's mission is to provide clients with one-of-a-kind montage art, original poetry, and the highest quality art reproductions possible.

To accomplish this mission, cyb4ever ® will:

1. Create one-of-a-kind montage art tailored to client preferences.
2. Assist clients in their selection of contemporary art.
3. Promote contemporary art as a sound investment; and
4. Help form strong community partnerships in building a strong economic future.

Art gives me a sense of accomplishment, joy, and personal freedom. Each creation becomes a journey of delight through innovation, meditation, and a sense of inner peace.

Designs of my work depict two-dimensional montage art and poetry that celebrate African-American history as well as the contemporary. While a Pennsylvania State University student, I discovered my love for this media and contributed to the Art on the Move program as well as various corporate advertising projects.

I have also participated in the Boston Afro-American Artists Association’s annual Art in the Park, Roxbury Open Studios, and The Renaissance Art & Design/Heard Gallery Epiphany series.

Recently, I appeared on HGTV’s ‘Decorating Cents’ show to showcase my artwork. The episode illustrated how rearranging existing artwork can form a completely different picture, a result that may have not surfaced had I not been given the opportunity. My collage work helps individuals and organizations acknowledge that change requires creativity and innovation. I intend to further explore topics concerning humanity in hopes that the viewer will be inspired.

Throughout the month of February in honor of Black History Month and celebrating culture through creativity, Harambee House at Wellesley College will feature the work of Crystal Y. Brown-Battle. view
