Shea Stella was born and raised in San Francisco. She went to UCLA and studied chemistry and philosophy but also found herself gravitating towards dance and art in her free time. One summers day on Cobb Mountain in California she came across a book call “Your Personal Atmosphere” by Channing Haddock. A paragraph she read that day ended up being the inspiration for her two most recent series of paintings which she calls Impressions of Stardust. Shea mediated on Haddock’s idea that we leave an impression everywhere we go which is locked into place by the eternal rain of startdust, and though it may seem invisible it is revealed by the cosmic breath and recorded in the Akashic records. Shea decided to explore the idea of the impressions we leave by making visual representations of what dancing, which is an activity of passion for her. Thus she created her dance art and the pieces she is showing here today. Each piece represents a song or idea and is made by dancing and kicking. The vivid colors and expressive metallics used are meant to reflect the mood of the song and the dancer’s connection to the song.

Prayers from Los Angeles is Shea Stella’s live painting debut. Her inspiration for dance art is to make a visual representation of what dancing looks like and how a different song, or her emotional connection to a song, can evoke different movements and inspire different use of color. She calls this series of paintings Impressions of Stardust.

Javier Herrera, Los Angeles Artist: “I picked up my first “brush” as a young teenager & the rest is history in the making… Art is my passion. It’s who I am. My work is about my view of the world & what it means to you the viewer. I try to raise consciousness & hopefully inspire people or make them aware of something they maybe didn’t know… It comes from the heart & every image has a story.”
