# About me

I was born in Montana and raised in the Rocky Mountains. I studied musical performance and studio art at the University of Idaho and moved to Japan in 2007 where I have been doing live painting at numerous musical events.

My work seeks to capture the expressive and
emotional space of music, dreams, and powerful feelings. Each painting is a catalyst to unlock the ecstasy, rage, confusion, fear, satisfaction, and
fascination of key moments, using color, light and form. It is meant to open doors to each individual’s lexicon of perceptions, tugging at the unconscious strings which help every person understand the work differently based on his or her foundation of life experiences and inclinations. I hope that each viewer can participate in the creative process by tapping into that infinite space we all carry with us. The place we find when we listen to music on the train, are drawn into a story, dance, love, daydream, create. Like a melody ringing with rhythm and color and unlimited by absolute truth, the paintings celebrate the universal by utilizing the unique. To communicate, to feel.

エラマーホニーはモンタナで生まれ、ロッキーマウンテンで育ちました。彼女はアイダホ大学でミュージカルと芸術を専攻していました。そして、アイダホ大学を卒業し、2007年に日本に来ました。日本に来てからは、音楽イベントで度々ライブペインティング(音楽に合わせて生で絵を描き披露すること)を行っています私は作品を描くうえで、音楽や、夢、力強感情的な部分を表現することに大変魅力を感じております。
それぞれの作品は、色や、光、形を通して、大切な瞬間の喜び、怒り、混乱、恐れ、満足感や
魅力的なその一瞬を表現し、伝えている。
全ての人が、それぞれ異なった、その人の人生経験や目標とするものがあり、それを理解することで
無意識のうちに何かを得て、それは、それぞれ個人の語彙の理解力・認識が開けることになっています。
絵をご覧頂いた方々は、私たちのいるこの莫大なスペースにいることで、この創造的なプロセスに参加していただければと思います。
私たちが電車で音楽を聞く時、物語に引き入れられる、ダンス、愛、空想、これらも創作の場。
まるで、リズムと色がメロディーを奏でえいるように、そして絶対的な真実が無制限であることで、
絵はユニークなものとなり、たくさんの人に賛美る。
伝えるために、そして感じるために…。

Current Residence: tokyo, japan

Goodbye DeviantArt:Goodbye DeviantArt:
I have had a very good run here of over 11 years. They were good times. You folks have been there to get me through some of the hardest times of my life.
You were there when I felt lost and alone over losing my job as an illustrator because we were just not needed anymore. You gave me a home of sorts when no one else would.
Six months later when the same newspaper decided that they no longer needed me as a photographer either and laid me off you were there.
When I found out that my wife was dying a very slow and painful death, you were there. As a healthcare provider you were often my only respite. In dark times you brought joy into my life.
When Joanne passed away you were there to help me remember what G.K. Chesterton once said. “Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed.” I have found wisdom in even the youngest of you time and time again. :thumb721

i am absolutely in love with your work!
i was just wondering what your medium is in your newest deviations? because the colours are so neon and bright and i was wondering how you did that effect because im in love with it!

aeravi In reply to vargs [2011-07-08 04:21:22 +0000 UTC]

they're black-light responsive acrylics on raw high-quality black canvas. these paints are actually quite limited, color-wise, so it's a constant challenge to make the limited palette work. but they do glow really nicely in black light.

they look more like ordinary colors in pictures, so if you're using normal paints i think the secret is just working on a black background. use bright, saturated colors. avoid too much white, even though you're painting on black. play with different tools and brushes to see what you can make. anyway, good luck and welcome to deviantart.

i'm new to art, and i really like your pastel work. i was wondering where you get your inspiration from, other than songs?

aeravi In reply to promedio [2011-05-17 10:14:06 +0000 UTC]

dreams... my head... and of course, i'm inspired by other artists, too. i honestly suggest going to exhibitions. actually being able to see the work of master artists up close.

for the pastel work, i was allowing myself to draw fluidly without worrying too much about realism. good luck
