⚜️ During Covid She Boms started doing graffiti but as a child living in Orange County, she remembers seeing it all along the 5 freeway. She had this idea in her head that it was something only men did. It was never something she considered women doing but after a bout with cancer she knew that there was no time like the present to pursue her passion in art.
-
As of 2023 she has spent the better part of the past 4 years teaching herself how to make large scale murals. Fast forward to today with a knowledge of the color wheel that she gained from being a hairdresser and after successfully beating cancer she takes nothing for granted and that same spirit is seen in her adventures and her pieces. ⚜️

◼️ 1. What got you into graffiti? 
-
⚜️I have always loved looking at the graffiti along the freeways. When I was a kid, I grew up in Orange County and remember staring out the car window any time we went along the 5 up to LA. I wanted to see what graffiti was decorating the freeway, I was mesmerized by the colors and characters. But I had the idea in my head that only men did graffiti.
-
When I lost my job during covid, I started to take photos of the local graffiti and street art. One day I was staring at a character someone did and I thought, “I bet I could do this”. I had loved drawing since I could hold a pencil, but I never took my art seriously. The next weekend I went out for my first paint session and haven’t stopped since.⚜️

◼️ 2.  What was Art like for you growing up?
-
⚜️My earliest memories around art involve climbing into my closet and drawing all over the walls. It was my secret spot, and I created all kinds of pictures. Teachers would tell me I’m talented, but my family was very critical of me wanting to do art for a living. I was told to “be realistic”, that only rich kids go to art school, and I needed to find a real job. So, I did, I did many real jobs, and doodled constantly on the side. I longed to do art, but never thought I could do it for work. But once I started to go out and paint graffiti, I started to grow my confidence in my art.⚜️

◼️ 3.  I see a lot of cartoons in your work. What were some of your favorites growing up? Are there any that you love that you would recommend to other people that might have never heard of them before for example movies or shows?
-
⚜️ I grew up watching so many cartoons! I love anything by Hana-Barbera— they created the Flintstones, Jetson’s, Scooby Doo, and so many more. And of course, Looney Tunes— Bugs, Coyote and Roadrunner, Elmer Fudd. 
If you’ve never watched the original Anamaniacs from the 90’s, check it out. I’ve done a lot of characters from that show— Dot, Cheryl, Dodo, Babs, and I still love that show.⚜️

◼️ 4. Do you have any favorite colors that you use?  or favorite color schemes you love that you would like to share with others?
-
⚜️I’m super obsessed with the color wheel in general. For about 10 years I did hair for a living, and I specialized in very bright and vivid hair color. In order to do a lot of those crazy hair colors, you have to understand the color wheel pretty intensely, complimentary colors, tertiary colors, stuff like that. And I find myself using that knowledge a lot when it comes to color schemes. But for favorite colors, anything with pinks in it. I love a good pink.⚜️

◼️ 5. As an artist, what advice would you give to your younger self? 
-
⚜️Don’t judge your work so harshly. I still battle that little voice in my head that tells me I’m not good enough to be an artist. That little voice is a liar. Tell her to stfu.⚜️

PYRO

January 04, 2024

⚜️ Pyro discovered graffiti in the 80's and was drawn to the placasos and  block letters that permeated throughout Los Angeles, even then he understood that they came from violence. In 81 through 82 his parents took him to New York where he witnessed some legendary graffiti writing and had the opportunity to walk a whole car, he even sat next to some of the greats who likely bombed some of those cars. This was just the beginning though he didn't fully understand it at the time, but it captured his fascination. When he got home, he started painting his own pieces, it started with block letters and graffiti backgrounds, elements like shine and sparkle⚜️
