Playing the piano there was sublime! I played for quite a while, listening to the combinations of tones, colors and textures; it is still that way for me— whether composing, playing the trombone or didjeridu, singing a ballad, or working out a new piano voicing. I take in and respond to ALL sounds and styles of music that have the qualities of strength, depth, spirit, structure, beauty and intelligence. Examples include the works of J.S. Bach, Stravinsky, Mississippi delta blues, John and Alice Coltrane, the exquisite music of Bali, Balkan brass bands, and I can't forget to mention my namesake Ludwig van Beethoven!"

As an immigrant, she has produced art with very little resources; which has in turn brought themes of self-sufficiency and community to the forefront of her work.

Her work projects voices of the youth, voices and stories from women, people of color, issues of belonging, equality, love, suffering and equity and access to education. Chanthou hopes to inspire people to become a conduit for cultural and social change. At the core, her mission is to instill love for dance art and to encourage artistic excellence and connection with community.

My work reflects my feelings and observations about our environment. Recently I have been drawn to exploring seasonal changes, habitats and textures. I wonder what biological magic conspired to create what we see? The energy of what is beneath it all far exceeds the growth we view from above. I find the parallel of being an artist and exploring my own creative roots to be a personal "habitat" to observe, as well. I look to what inspires and supports our life and what I can learn along the way.

The work tends to be pretty abstract, but she also enjoys using some figurative and symbolic elements, to bring the work closer to the human psychology.

Northern California, the Deep South and Rhode Island. I have collected daydream memories, a vivid color palette and a rich and tangible sense of place throughout my travels. My most prevalent themes deal with the transformations we experience throughout our lives. At this point in my life, I am really enjoying the discovery of how all the seemingly disparate threads come together with time and distance. I explore these themes through the use of color, found and forgotten treasures, simple images and the desire to convey a sense of place that is more memory than reality.

My art is about movement, transformation, and the energy within—its effect on us and the power we have to affect it. The pieces I create speak to hope, weathering the storms, learning to swim within the chaos. I am inviting the richness of possibility that comes with transformation and change. Meant to stir emotions and feelings rather than anchored with a visually recognizable object, my paintings are nature-based abstracts in an atmospheric dreamy style, rich in color and often with high contrast between darks and lights.

My favorite artistic style is working with acrylic paint. I tend to lean towards impressionism, but love anything with color. I also create custom art using wood burner tools, epoxy resin and faux finish. My vision is to share my love for art with a wider audience and to create a space where people can come together to engage with color and with each other. I believe that art has the power to inspire, to challenge and to transform.

As I paint I want to create something whose power and grace is familiar, exhilarating and comforting too. Not as a repeat but as an image / feeling that already existed in subconsciousness: a sort of time travel. It already existed because it does now, and has a place here.

Grateful to be enjoying a creative life in both the country (Nevada County) and the city (Sacramento). It is funny, in these turbulent times, to dedicate so much time to creating quiet, still objects. For me, making art is anything but quiet or still. A blank canvas is pure anticipation. Wet paint is a sumptuous thing. The process is empowering and full of a thousand decisions. A completed painting never quite feels done. With best laid plans, the next piece is still always a mystery. Somehow, through it all, a painting comes to life.

She is interested in how forms are energized by the space around them, especially when incorporated into paintings with vivid contrasting color and thick painterly textures in oils. Inspired by the natural world, Hayman believes in a process of constant investigation. Trained early on as a classical pianist, Hayman has been greatly influenced by music in her life. Actively involved in theater and dance at the Conservatory of Music in Cincinnati and Baltimore, her creative talents eventually led to her primary focus as a visual artist.

I paint places and moments that moved me, channeling the energy and joy of fleeting moments. Like a hike on a mountain trail or a wander on a beach, every painting is an exploration. Though I have a starting point with each canvas, I never know what I will discover in the process or where I will end up. This is what keeps me painting.

Women's heads to be exact. I love to create faces, round cheeks, lips, color, earrings, long hair, swirls, plants, words, music and odd things. My current obsessions are translucency and disruption.

Public art is the portal within our built environment through which we may discover a common sense of identity and connection with our physical surroundings.
