Storm Ritter Gallery
Storm opened her 2022 solo show in Meatpacking, NYC at 807 Washington St. with Gallery 23 NY in late September '22. The entire collection was created during 2021-22. With success, the exhibition evolved into Storm Ritter Gallery, extending storefront residency into May 2023. The space transformed into a working studio as well as an open gallery to the public. With retail experience, Storm evolved the exhibition into a commerce for fine art, jewelry, apparel, & design commissions.
In collaboration with Gallery 23 NY, Storm has been able to pioneer her work in Meatpacking with here residency. Using her motif of "The Cool People", she has been able to showcase her signature to a new audience. The Cool People are divine spirits around you, guides in your head, and interpretative symbols of power. They, in turn, have become the sole storytellers in the “Cirque of The Cool People" evolving collection at Storm Ritter Gallery.

Cirque of The Cool People
2022 - 2023 Collection
The collection is a showcase of spiritual spectacle in a surrealist universe. “Cirque of The Cool People” invites the viewer's soul into an immersion of phantasmagoria –– with mystical imagery and theatrical composition. The artwork acts as a guide to transport people into a space of divine magic. Using esoteric symbolism and applying theatrical scenic design, the “Cirque of The Cool People” is an invitation to escapism and self-enlightenment. The collection encourages the viewer to apply personal didacticism to feel fantastical liberation apart from the structure of realities of life.
