Imagine a world where creativity flows like a river, where artists come together to paint the canvas of their dreams while engaging in deep, meaningful conversations. This world became a reality when I met Ashley Juno, the talented guitarist for Fifth Harmony, who graced my studio in Los Angeles with a request that I host the last session of the Absolut "Refresh The Talk" campaign. She invited a number of her friends from the music industry to come to my studio for the day to paint, create, connect and engage in meaningful conversations (sponsored by Absolut). I was very flattered and was all in.
Setting the Stage for Inspiration
I set up tables all around the studio, brought out canvases, paints, refreshments, and of course, Brie, the resident studio dog as the playful "tone setter" for the day. As the artists gathered in the studio, the atmosphere was charged with creative energy. The walls echoed with laughter and the clinking of paintbrushes, as each artist poured their soul onto the canvas. The room was a symphony of colors and textures, a visual feast for the eyes.
A Musical Interlude
And then, as if by magic, Ashley Juno picked up a guitar and sat down on the floor. The room fell silent as the first notes filled the air, weaving a tapestry of sound that enveloped everyone present. Her fingers danced across the strings, creating melodies that seemed to come from another world.

Capturing the Moment
As the music filled the room, I decided to take a camera walk through the studio, capturing the essence of the moment. Each stroke of the brush, each chord strummed on the guitar, was immortalized on film, a testament to the power of creativity and collaboration.
In that moment, the boundaries between art forms blurred, and a new form of expression was born. The artists in the room were not just painters or musicians; they were creators, weaving a tapestry of sound and color that spoke to the soul.
As the session came to a close, the artists gathered around Ashley, their faces glowing with inspiration. They had not only created art; they had created connections, forging bonds that would last a lifetime. And as they left the studio, their hearts were full, their minds buzzing with new ideas and possibilities.
It was a night to remember, a night when creativity reigned supreme and the world was transformed by the power of art and music. And as the last notes faded into the night, the room was filled with a sense of peace and fulfillment, a reminder of the beauty that lies within each of us.
Thank you to Absolut, Ashley Juno, and Friends for an amazing event.
