Conner Bouch, AKA Tie Dye Kid, was born into a family full of artists and has been doing art of every kind from for as long as he can remember. In high school he fell in love with ceramic pottery and sculpture and was given an honor award in ceramics both his junior and senior years. After high school he started a company making and selling custom tie dye products in stores around Corralitos and Freedom.

His most recent art obsession, and also the technique that he will be showcasing, is abstract acrylic fluid art. Taking inspiration from fluid art reels on Instagram he has created his own unique style that exemplifies his investigations into color combination in both his tie dye art as well as his abstract linework faces (which are often drawn using contrasting colors in order to make the features of the faces stand out).

Om Gallery is thrilled to announce that Conner will be a featured live painter Om Gallery for First Friday on August 1st. We invite everyone to come and observe Conner’s creative process as he brings his art to life, adding a unique and engaging experience to the evening. This is a fantastic opportunity to see an artist at work and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of downtown Santa Cruz.

As a ’70s kid on a banana-seat Schwinn, Mark Van Haren carried his portable radio everywhere, mesmerized by the groovy tunes of the era: Stevie Wonder, Hall & Oates, Al Green, James Taylor, Steely Dan, Bill Withers – and yes, some Bacharach and Beatles, too. Come revisit ’70s pop-soul radio with Mark, who delights in being a kid again.
