RECAP: Opening night of "Paradise"

Thanks to all the fabulous people that came to show love and support at the successful opening reception of my show last Thursday at AZArt Gallery in Chelsea.  A full house with even a line  outside for the giveaway posters.  A true delight to meet new people who enjoy and complimented my work and celebrated "Paradise" with me.

NYC artist Indie 184: “It’s not a competition. Dare to be different.”

A Couple of weeks ago ,i sat down for a conversation with Bianca (NocureMagazine) ...

NYC graffiti artist Indie 184’s creations make the world a brighter place. Her art promotes, encourages and celebrates having the courage to be yourself! Since the first moment I saw her colourful, unique, bold pieces my heart sang and has been armoured and my mind enchanted with them. I recently interviewed her for No Cure magazine (get it here or in Australian newsagents). I remember when I first told my editor about her work and suggested we should feature her in the mag and he told me the issue was unfortunately already full; a few days later he messaged me again saying, he hasn’t been able to stop thinking about how amazing her work is and let’s make room for a feature. I was overjoyed! The result is a 7-page celebration of Indie’s amazingness. Not only is she a brilliant and important artist, she’s a savvy business woman, mother, feminist, world traveller and so much more. Regular readers of conversationswithbianca.com will know I never do interviews half-assed so being me, I did a super in-depth interview with Indie, here’s the extra chat that isn’t featured in the mag.

BIANCA: What were you like growing up?

INDIE: That hard atmosphere [growing up in NYC] made me always want to escape into imaginary places filled with dolls, cartoons and dreams. I was always the black sheep of the family. Didn’t ever felt like I belonged to any cliques even in my own family. At school I liked to hang out with the nerdy outcast kids. I always had an affirmation for the strange, so it reflected in my social circle, a constant colorful palette in my life. I was definitely a dreamer but an action oriented being. As a little girl I loved to draw my family and pets doing random things. I was really into fashion, drawing my desired back to school outfits and styling myself. I spent most of my time in front of the TV watching cartoons like Rainbow Bright, Jem, Muppets and My Little Pony. I was a major bookworm and an honor student. I also loved to dance on tables.
