the Artist - Devon Strong
Artist Statement
As an up and coming Artist, I'm still very much exploring my Art styles, technique & form. I want to create with all mediums, all colors, and all emotions on all surfaces. I know I'll be experimenting & working for a very long time before I get to experience all the aspects of Art that I want to explore.
Biography
Born in 1966, on the shores of Eastern Michigan, Devon Strong has been involved in a lot of different types of artistic endeavors. For instance, during her last year in High School, Devon attended a Co-op program for Cosmetology School and finished soon after-all the while learning invaluable skills in Color theory, form, and Balance. Devon excelled in the Salon Industry quickly building a full clientele.
In addition to attending to her clients, she also created elaborate Retail & Holiday Displays and Promotions in the Salon. She received raves from the Salon clients and Co-workers about her unique designs and creativity.
In addition, Devon was able to freelance her design skills and work with various Event Planners, as well as her Uncle, Earl Bonuam a well-known, professional Event Designer, whom Devon was able to apprentice under, learning the tricks of the trade, working at high-profile Events in the Metro Detroit area.
Unfortunately, after only about 12 years, Devon had a life changing neck injury and was no longer able to work in the Salon Industry or in the Design Field. But fortunately, due to the fact that Art can be created just about anywhere, Devon has been able to work in her Home Studio to create her works of Art. And as a new transplant to the beautiful State of Colorado, Devon looks forward to taking advantage of all the gorgeous vistas and the State's rich History.
