ORIGINAL WORK & PROCESS
NEW YORK, NY | 2014 - CURRENT
Since 2014, she has been painting with her left and right hand, acting as two separate parts of herself. Passionate about duality in life, she finds that trusting her subconscious in her creative process gives her freedom and connection to divine emotions. Music and theatre are a driving force in her work, listening to scores and specific songs on repeat that evoke the concept of frission, also known as goosebumps. A believer in human magic, she is rooted in tactile processes of creation, without use of technology to produce her paintings. There is a mystical unknown about the brain, and she is on a journey to following the path inwards.
She relies heavily on her ability to understand numbers as colors and music as vibrant visuals, bringing her into a flow when painting. With faith in her inner monologues and the technicolor world of her third eye, Storm's work is spiritual, not pertaining to a specific organized religion, but a connection with the Universe around her. Storm uses her intense emotions, past memories and ever-expanding imagination to create paintings that have meaning for those who find bliss in dreaming and crave reminders that we are never alone.
Prior to painting, Storm curates spiritual, intellectual and emotional stimulus that explores self-didacticism, enlightenment, and escapism. Her work relies on a centrifugal expression, physically and emotionally, that reflects her response from the collected stimuli. She investigates a parallel of nostalgic memory and human experiences of natural magic, like synesthesia and frisson, in studio to produce compositions with esoteric symbolism and visual storytelling.

Savoring the Surreal
Do you have a specific source of inspiration?
"I have a centrifugal-like process when I ambidextrously paint, similar to channelling, so I’m shrewdly methodical about my sources of inspiration. Sparks do fly from three stimuli categories: spiritual, intellectual and emotional. Once those are pre-orchestrated, my synesthesia experience is directed and controlled for me to produce authentic work. Ans oh, synchronicities, those interconnected observations are completely out of my control and a prime example of a spiritual stimulus. If I follow linked associations in my days, those synchronicities spotlight unexpected themes. Irony and dreams of astroprojective nature also tip off my intuition. If I tether together these details together I see an obscure or crystal-clear meaning to move further with.
Intellectual stimuli is then found through isolating connected themes in books, films, and music. I’m an in-depth researcher and logophile, so even old-world literature encourages me to write, and archive. As for the auditory, I seek out stimulating songs that escort my mind’s eye to visualize something untapped. Emotional stimuli is my human response and actions to what’s been learned and prepared. When I start playing, projecting or physically displaying my curated content, I’m immersed in an intentionally designed studio to organically feel my synesthesia experience, react, and visually produce. I’m on the right path when frisson—body chills and goosebumps—comes to fruition, leading to adrenaline rushes, happy tears, or melancholic aches. Frisson is a natural drug for me, and I’m addicted.
These elements of my process become core memories, to recycle in the future. My mind’s eye houses an inventory room, lined with abundant filing cabinets. The acquired visuals or phrases from synchronicities, factual discoveries, and synesthesia-induced sensations are classified files, archived and categorized in my cabinet drawers. It’s no dewy decimal system, but my employees up there know how I think."

Original Collections
The collection is the visualization of the artist's theatrical universe, where her spirits come to play. Organically painted with the right and left hand in tandem, the surrealist work depicts compositions of natural magic and themes of reincarnated nostalgia. With the physical and emotional response from music, the artist is inspired by the colors of classical opera/operettas, harpsichord infused rock, and cinematic scores from Technicolor musicals to modern melodramas. The body of work is an expressionistic reflection of her past year exploring the supernatural elements of the self and dynamic definitions of home. The signature spiritual figures, The Cool People, are teachers on her journey to understand her soul, inviting viewers to show kindness to their own.
