On Being a Balloon Artiste

Being a live performance artist for 16 years has brought a world of experiences. I was just asked to create a 10×20 foot sculpture to decorate a large public building in the South Bay. People LOVE seeing things being created out of nothing, and balloons are the same way. A pile of latex balloons can become a huge art piece that fills a whole lobby, and people would flock to see this construction.

Art can be defined as a creative skill that one uses, and displays to others with an ease of doing it. Balloon art is fascinating and amazing because of its likelihood to pop when anyone touches it, much less twists and distorts into an amazing figurine.

THE ART SHOW

I am always excited about returning to the Art Show. This local club hires us yearly and appreciates what we  in the community.

I always feel like an artist among the artists. The other artisans come over and mention how amazing my art is. The participants recognize art and appreciate it. I felt like I was in my element.  Its always wonderful to have a creative outlet.
