Lisa Bouchelle: The Ark
More

Chart-Topping, Alt-Americana Artist Lisa Bouchelle, who Relix magazine recently named as one of its “On The Rise Artists,” will be performing at The Ark September 19 with Squeeze Co-Founder Glenn Tilbrook. Playing songs from her latest critically-acclaimed album, including the title track “Jump In!,” which peaked at #21 on the Billboard A/C Indicator chart, as well as other fan favorites, Bouchelle’s show is one that music lovers won’t want to miss!

Jump In! fuses together pop and rock inspired songwriting, blended with Bouchelle’s signature Alt-Americana sound. With special guests including G. Love, Mike Schmid (The Chainsmokers), Tommy Kessler (Blondie), Joel Hoekstra (Whitesnake and TSO), Hal B. Selzer (Joan Jett & The Blackhearts), Rob Hyman (The Hooters), Constantine Maroulis (American Idol), and many others, it was hailed as “An invaluable message of positivity and uplifting inspiration... that’ll get stuck in your head for days," by American Songwriter Magazine.

The album also generated 4.6 Million+ views on TikTok and made several "Top Ten of 2021" lists. The video for “Jump In!” was also added to MTVu, and streamed on college campuses across the U.S.

Check out Lisa Bouchelle and see what all the buzz is about!

Journey of Self-Discovery (Artwork of Richard Moizio)

Journey of Self-Discovery (Artwork of Richard Moizio): Digital Media Commons
More

To experience an interesting piece of art is to feel ALIVE. It propels one out of reality (for a moment) and transcends the spirit to a special place much like a spiritual awakening.

I am interested in the creative process even more than the final product. The process of art making is therapeutic and one of self-discovery. It is a chance to play like a child and to allay fears/worries and to lose the confines of the world around you. It offers you a chance to dream, dance and explore unknown worlds.

This exhibit is mainly focused on this creative process which I call the ‘Journey of Self-Discovery. Each painting has been created according to this process. Mindfulness is the goal.

We all see things from different angles based on our own individual experiences. I encourage you to look at things from your own perspective – each piece invites you to consider your own viewpoint, a chance to let go and experience some unique personal other-worldly environments. Enjoy.
