Artist Statement - Kat Stellarr

When the love within us is acknowledged it becomes expansive, requiring an outlet. Every stroke of paint, and every moment spent with my work is an intention leading myself and others towards love and light. Through my work I wish to reopen a visual portal for the familiar feelings and knowledge within all humans to a point or spark of healing. With great hopes of our very own planetary connections and consciousness expanding, I have found that painting is a music for the eyes, a limitless practice.

While at Electric Forest I shared a literal and emotional vision of seed to forest. Transformation at its finest. Remembering that you will always start with a seed and a little magic. The culture that comes together in the forest shows love, light, and hope in a recipe to break you out of the shell of your seed. A place you can play, dance, sing, paint and/or grow like no one is watching. Keep doing what you love and don't stop there. The seeds planted today are the fruits and trees of tomorrow. Plant mindfully and shine light. I want to thank my new friend Amanda from Massachusetts, for being the model for the fairy of the forest, and everyone else I met who shared their wonderful light. Stay magical! See you in the forest!

About the Electric Forest Music In Schools Program

Electric Forest’s Music In Schools Program has supported local music education since 2012. Each year, thousands of dollars are donated to help keep music part of the curriculum in Michigan public schools.

By donating money and instruments to local school music programs, Electric Forest is bridging the gap between diminishing school budgets and music program resource needs. The Music In Schools Program also offers hands-on experiences to music students including performance opportunities at the festival, as well as on-site mentor opportunities, where students interested in music production “shadow” Electric Forest professionals during the event.

After all, Electric Forest’s home should be a place of musical discovery year-round!
