What if art were a visceral riddle offered to be felt in the bones—as an unspoken peek into the artist’s psyche? “Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth.”  -Pablo Picasso Vando Davis is a self-taught artist who works primarily with acrylic and oil sticks. Vando began his art career in 2017 after years in the hospitality field. The impetus for his painting was his youngest son, Dione Davis, who was having trouble relaxing during intense day trading sessions. Vando saw painting as a way to help his son, but little did he know how much it would impact his own life. Rooted in Neo-Expressionism and Abstract, Vando’s style of painting uses vibrant, uncharacteristic, sometimes clashing colors, along with phrasing and vowel-free words. Vando’s fun loving nature is seen in every colorful stroke. Website: vandodavis.com Instagram: @vandoart

What if heartbreak isn’t a breakdown but a sacred doorway back to your own heart? “How’s your heart?” (Joel Cross’s mantra) Joel Cross is a group facilitator, artist, social media sensation, and founder of the Beautiful Souls Community. He is also a certified meditation teacher, mindfulness coach, and accomplished musician. He received a Grammy nomination for his collaborations with India Arie as a songwriter and guitarist. It all started when Joel Cross developed a passion for music in the church, singing gospel songs with his seven siblings. After picking up his first guitar at age 12, it was evident that making music was his calling. His dedication to perfecting his craft eventually led him to the University of North Texas where he studied jazz guitar. After graduation, Joel made a name for himself playing gigs throughout the Dallas music scene. Whether original music or cover, his heartfelt approach showcased his ability to make each piece sound new, truly a sound all his own. One afternoon, while playing the Dallas Arboretum, Joel decided to appease the crowd’s unconventional request for a Taylor Swift song. A fan happened to catch his very soulful rendition of “Shake it Off” on video and uploaded it to YouTube. The next morning, over a half a million people had watched the video, and Joel’s face was on every major news source in Dallas.   Website: asouldcalledjoel.com   Instagram: @asoulcalledjoel   YouTube: @asoulcalledjoel
