Sweet Release From Being I

The common release is of those vessels that free you from dealing with yourself for a bit, perhaps because you need a break from the brains thoughts or mental strains in our lives that we all endure, but Savannah Quihuis has vast humble beauty from within. The sugary sweet crumbs of release comes from within & at her disposal willingly at a heart of broad love.

"I am inspired by so many things & my biggest inspiration comes from myself, I am very lucky for this because i will always have myself, meaning the inspiration is always present. When i say myself I'm also including the physical, my emotions, my life, how i see the world, my thoughts, opinions and things i want to work/heal on."

There is an insightful atonement balance in the pieces that she creates, many revelations and philosophical vision that creates double-entendre visuals for many but without too much underlying secrecy held under blankets, like other mysterious works analogies. A confident blatant stance perhaps a portrayal of personality as well, but still leaving leg room for the mystery that beholds art itself and needed for its enigma.

"I have 2 pieces with a sun in it. In a symbolism sense suns usually mean ego due to the general shape which is a circle. Circles represent ego because it is the thing your eye notices first & for some reason shape is easier to recognize than others."

A tourney, is a journey within itself. Entangled though with more competition and structure. You could be your biggest competitor and biggest spontaneous curve ball. The mirrors represented in Savannah's art as a personal side-note showed me a healing affect but in a peculiar way of CREATING the element of health/medicine. Not a specific coordinate trajected to heal you in a certain way but gave me an aura of bold strength through lens of logical purposeful suffering, a healers drawing if you will.

"I focus on healing so much because my family carries a lot of generational trauma & PTSD. Being around people that hadn't dealt with their pain or was still dealing with it really forced me to look at my own and learn how to separate theirs from mine. When you are born into a family like that (many of us have) you come to the realization that most of their actions are not based on you or the present and that some things are just out of your control. I cannot control their actions but i can control how to react. It became important to me, learning how to separate my pain from theirs, and my art was the only way i knew how. It was a way of letting go of their emotions to just feel my own & it was the first time i truly felt what i was feeling & not pick up on others. It helped me focus on having the power to mend and grow."

Outside of visual arts, Savannah has a passion for music as they also play a part in her innovation and "a tool for warping my emotions or perceptions on things". She also enjoys dance as a tunnel of expression, for her mother is a dancer as well.

Sav Quihuis is still creating regularly, in the midst of her own creations she's also making album covers for people along with any other side projects.
