A Genius Muralist Lives Among Us

p9040070-1There are many talented artists. And still, some of the most talented artists simply go unnoticed until after their demise, because they were too busy with their art and living life, to spend pieces of time promoting themselves, and doing all those business things.
One gifted muralist, who you most likely haven’t heard of, yet, is Stacy Lynn Schwartz of Ypsilanti, Michigan. Ms. Schwartz has been applying her art to the walls of homes, businesses, libraries, schools, and more in a small part of southeastern Michigan, just outside of Detroit. Schwartz juggles her passion for art with being a full time mom to her three year old, Amanda, and to being a devoted wife to husband Dan.
In past blogs, I’ve frequently expressed that in order to be the best of the best at ‘your thing’, you have to eat, breathe, and sleep ‘IT’. Schwartz’s art is an extension of who she is. One can see it in the decor of her home, the design of her garden, and the expression of her thoughts. This link, LINK, will take you to her web sight where you can enjoy some of her creations. Her special love for children has drawn her to develop playful characters and scenes. And Schwartz’s versatility can be witnessed in other lifelike scenarios.p7290034

THE SCRABBLE SEGUE:
All great talents require a passion and attention to detail. If you or I choose to become one of the best scrabble players, we must develop the same kind of passion for letters and words as Stacy Lynn Schwartz has achieved for her artistry. Genius rarely, if ever occurs all by itself. Somebody must devote time and energy; someone must learn and apply; someone must goof and start anew many times. We develop techniques. Our passion grows even greater. Then, after all that, we arrive.
