PROCESS & PRESS
The Real Story
The fine art collection opens a door into another existing world around us. Esoterically led, the series invites souls to identify themselves within with spiritual themes and esoteric imagery alluding tarot cards. Storm paints with her subconscious and conscious in tandem to achieve organic divinity; the spiritual figures of The Cool People are individually birthed with the emotional left hand and structural right hand. Each uniquely spawned with duality, their evolution allows them to ascend as storytellers in a surrealist universe. With gold accents and a focus on a baroque aesthetic, the collection encourages the viewer to fall into trance-like realms in a dimension perhaps familiar. This is the first of a multiple collections focusing on visualizing the worlds of The Cool People.
Working Artist Interview
"It’s all about my process, not the product. My relationship with art is truly the memory of creation. Painting is my cathartic conjuring, but process is the meat of my mysticism. When purchased art takes on a new timeline, a sliver of myself lives within, for others to enjoy. I’ve sold thousands of pieces, and now have no clue of their current coordinates, but I know they no longer belong to me.
