Edie Art
She is a self-taught artist who picked up her first guitar at 20 in L.A. She learned a couple of chords so she could start expressing and writing. Music to her was all about self- expression, almost like therapy. She learned to record and produce her own music in the early 2000’s. She wrote and performed lots and put out 4 albums throughout her 20’s.
When she moved to NYC, painting became her main gig as she started selling her work on the streets. she continued to do this for 10 years, participating in big market events around the city and the Hudson Valley. As of late, she has been animating shorts that spread messages she feels are important for us to hear. Check them out Animated Talks on YouTube.
The process of painting as with music is about flow. Of not believing that mistakes exist. Any move is part of the whole and the creation. It requires a great amount of trust. And diligent work/practice! Art in whichever form is a daily practice for her most of the time. She absolutely loves it.
