Interview with Casey O'Connell Courtesy of Hearsay

We're expected to grow up and get with reality, which usually entails a certain type of job, relationship, timeline... you know the story. But while it can be scary, when we do what is true to us, life is much easier in the end. What happens when we keep dreaming? Enter Casey O'Connell, a woman who is very in touch with her inner child and has succeeded at the two most difficult things in life: becoming a successful artist and following her passion. After landing her first gig in San Francisco five years ago, moving into Hotel des Arts for a month and painting room 405, which appeared on the front page of The New York Times, and surviving well, life, she is continuing on her journey - which is where we come in. Reaves Gallery is hosting Hope Echoes, an autobiographical journey of O'Connell. Join the beautiful Casey tomorrow evening for her debut solo exhibition and experience a personal journal in bold, bright paintings rather than words. Prepare to fall in love: you'll need to clear some space on the walls because you won't be leaving empty-handed!
