Artist Erin Waye

About Me

ART is something I have been doing my entire life. I also love dancing which is how I got my nickname: DANCE QUEEN. I started writing DANCE because I love dancing and feel a sacred spiritual release from it's physical artistic expression.:) My style of dance is Freestyle, with combinations of Breakdancing, Hip Hop, Club -rave, Modern, etc. I just go with the flow of the music, with no specific "label" or genre. DANCE FREESTYLE!!!
I was born in CANADA, but constantly moved around my entire life. A few places I have lived include: Ontario, Chicago, CA, HI, OR, CT, Boston, and mostly now all over NYS. My heritage is Celtic: Russian, Dutch, Irish and Scottish. From 1988 - 1998, I created the underground 'zine: REAL!. I started Acrylic and Oil Painting in 1992. From 1993 - 1999, I was involved with Aerosol Art: GRAFFITI, reppin BOSTON and upstate NY.
People say that I am Charismatic, Energetic, Obsessive-Compulsive, ADD, Schizo, Creative, Intellectual, Frugal, Reserved, Mysterious, Honest and Comical.:) I like to refer to myself as a monk Artist on sabbatical, as well as a Versatile Vagabond, Loner and Rebel; Prolific and Spiritual- Livin Life as a Piece of Artwork... A WARRIOR WOMAN- Staying strong in a world I would much rather not live in, but maintaining the fight for SURVIVAL everyday.
