Each year, the Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center hosts a
fashion extravaganza called Art Walks the Runway. The next one opens March 30
and runs through April 2, 2017.
I was given the honor of opening the runway in 2012. I was
one of six fashion designers featured that year, and I presented my “Fashion
Art Story" which featured my hand-painted wardrobe. I returned in 2015 with
a few colorful pieces from my personal collection, as well as bright and bold
original artwork that was, in fact, the inspiration behind the ladies apparel
and accessories now sold exclusively at Bealls. It’s a fun time for both
designers and attendees, and it’s something I’m looking forward to
participating in again in the future. Plus it’s a fundraiser that benefits the Sidney
& Berne Davis Art Center.
I have painted my clothes for special events since I was
young, but the art fashion has a way of trickling down into my every day
attire. I especially love to wear hand-painted heels. They always get a second
look from people as I’m out and about. I love it when someone at the checkout
counter asks to have their picture taken with me...but I know it's the fun
painted jacket or shoes they want to photograph.
Given this as
background, it’s no wonder that my association with Bealls is a marriage made
in heaven.
