BIOGRAPHY

Beezy is a 29-year old stock trader, entrepreneur, spiritual coach, inventor, and artist from Dallas,TX . At 15, she was taking college-level drawing classes at Parsons in New York City. She studied Entrepreneurship at the University of Oklahoma and has launched two businesses. Despite wearing many hats, Beezy makes her faith a priority. She invests a lot of time into her spiritual well-being, knowing her ultimate purpose is to keep a clear channel between her and Divine Source, which is the source for inspiration in all of her work. She’s asked God to share His gift of creativity with her so that work can be co-created with true meaning. Regardless of the medium chosen, Beezy’s art consistently delivers something that has never been done before. Her Ecos series is what caught the attention of the gallery world. Known for leaving bare canvas exposed, the wall sculpture itself is made of hand-painted recycled grocery bags. Her art holds her own vibration- of love, truth, and... a little stardust.

ARTIST INSIGHTS

How are your background and life experiences connected to your art?

I spent a lot of time alone as a child & found true friendship and connection with God. It wasn’t abnormal for me to be sitting alone in a park having a conversation with Jesus or God directly. I still do. But in terms of how to share this information with others, well, it can be really overwhelming. I mean how do you start a conversation with a stranger saying, “So God came to me and told me this…” I first turned to art to channel this physical build up of energy within me because I couldn’t keep it all inside. I would get depressed & anxious, even turning to self-harm to numb myself. But as I have created, people have told me that my work makes them feel something in a strong way. It has a vibration to it that penetrates the whole room. And so I have just kept going, kept creating, knowing God will open the right home at the right time for my work to rest in.

Who are some of your biggest artistic influences?

Holy Spirit, nature, myself, & loved ones. I don’t look at other artists for inspiration or influence.

How have you developed your artist career?

Organically. I create what I feel, post about it, and people liked it. I’ve been fortunate to walk into many galleries and have them sign me on the spot. I think my art is developing my career for me, and not the other way around.

What does your artistic work intend to communicate to its audience?

Your soul is timeless, limitless. Wake up to it. Drop out of your head and into your heart.

Does your work comment on any current social or political issues?

A major social issue my art comments on is our addiction to busyness and insatiable desire to fill up our lives with the material world. A style I’m known for are my Ecos series canvas sculptures, made out of recycled paper grocery bags. There are a few important statements I’m making within this series beyond the obvious point of recycling. One, is that there is beauty in everything and the Holy Spirit can transform something that doesn’t seem significant into something marvelous. I intentionally leave parts of the canvas bare, creating tension & showing that what gives these works their shape is actually the empty space. This is calling out our human nature to want to fill up space in order to feel complete (for example, most of us run on a packed schedule, or, we expect an entire canvas to be covered in paint). We have discomfort in the space of nothingness- but that space is often required for us to find connection with God. It’s a reminder to leave room for Spirit to work in your life. 

I also love creating pieces that make us think differently about money. For example, my work, “What’s The Difference?” challenges the idea of money being legitimate by displaying elements of real shredded dollar bills next to monopoly money. George Washington and the Monopoly guy are looking at each other, surrounded by a world of absurdity. It’s important to question things like money, power, & who is controlling them.

Do you have a particular story that stands out from your career as an artist?

I was painting one day while thinking of Mary Magdalene & how her spirit must have felt. I painted a beautiful piece of what seemed like endless bright circles forming a wormhole to heaven. Later that evening, a friend of mine, who had not seen the art work at all & had no knowledge of me working on it, told me that she had a dream about Mary Magdalene. She said she saw colorful bubbles & circles that kept drawing themselves, making a portal. I showed her my painting and she said, “I saw exactly this!” It made me feel excited to know that my role as an artist is to transcend between our physical world and spiritual world. It’s an honor to be creating this kind of work.

What is one thing you would like your audience to know about you?

My family has called me Beezy since I can remember, it’s short for the nickname they gave me, “The Little Buddha”.

Which current art world trends are you following?

I don’t follow any art trends, I just create what I feel at the time. But I have enjoyed using digital tools and combining both digital and physical art into one finished work.

Why have you chosen to sell your work in the 1515 Lincoln Gallery?

A long chain of events put me outside the door by happenstance. After walking in and connecting with Susan, I knew there was so much love radiating in the space. I could feel the community there & am so grateful she chose me back!

What do you believe makes 1515 Lincoln Gallery distinct from other galleries?

One word: Community. Susan sets up zoom calls between us and other artists to connect and learn from each other. I haven’t heard of another gallery that does that. There is an energy of collaboration and support.

ARTIST STATEMENT

Since I was a child I have received many messages from God. This all came to a climax this past year when I had a near-death experience while I was hospitalized for a severe infection. During this time, I encountered many angelic beings & God himself. He told me I am supposed to stay in this world to deliver messages for Him, and art is one of the primary mediums I use to do so. I asked God how to share the wisdom that He shared with me. He answered, “Just be. Create. Be easy.”

And that’s the Beezy way.

I believe too much of our world is asleep to our spiritual nature. My art exists to help others wake up to feeling alive, feeling love, & feeling at peace with their lives.
