HOLY SHIT I just watched her little mini video- I went to High School with her. And Middle School.
She's smart, always was. She was also a raging cunt.
Speaking for every weirdo abnormal art student we knew, she was the enemy. I used to go up against her in competitions and goddamnit if I didn't always win, and she's the one with a show! Hahaha. DAMN YOU FATE!
She comes from the most white, rich neighborhood ever, and was the most white rich girl imaginable. You know, smug without a reason, that girl.
I even took art classes with her. Which is hilarious, because I always bested her. And of course, she went to RISD, my dream school, heaven, that I got a full scholarship to and had to reject for complex reasons, to turn the tables on that one. She is now, by far, better than me. I'm a terrible painter.
You know how in movies or shows, like Friends or whatever, the sort of edgy people all live in this unexplainable wealth, but are supposed to be indie, and every item on the set seems really calculated? Her entire personality is like that.
But you know, I've worked in enough galleries to know that almost all successful artists are that way. They come from the means to get a real agent, have a real $2k portfolio, and have parents to foot the rent in the arts district of a big city until they "make it" -which of course, puts them ahead of the rest of us bums.
Oh, no. Painting reflective surfaces is one of those exercises that they make you do in art school. It's one of those "if you can't do this, you don't count" things -and generally when people are just starting out, they pull out all the stops to show that they have technical skill. Balloons, mirror balls, all that stuff gets used a lot for 101 courses.

Most artists are crazy fuckers with drinking problems and delusions of grandeur. She's in good company.

I have to ask- when you knew her, did she have some sort of ballon fetish? :)
