France-Vaz draws inspiration from the Pre-Raphaelite and Naturalist periods of art\, poetry\, and classic literature\, and film. She combines her strong foundation in life painting with imaginative backgrounds fusing classical with contemporary realism. \nThe artist was born in Brooklyn\, NY and moved to the UWS in Manhattan in 2002 to study portrait and figurative art. She was the recipient of the Rhodes Scholarship Award and earned a BFA from the School of Visual Arts in 3D Computer Animation for Film and Special Effects. \nFrance-Vaz has exhibited at the Dacia Gallery NYC\, Wausau Museum of Contemporary Art\, Museum of Modern European Art for ModPortrait and first round of Figurativas\,  Abend Gallery\, Principle Gallery\, Lovetts Gallery\, Eisele Gallery\, Butler Insitute of Fine Art\, National Arts Club NYC\, and Salmagundi Club NYC.

Her intent is to combine hope\, spiritual beliefs\, and the human condition. Most of her models are professional musicians\, artists\, actors\, and dancers.  The spiritual\, the mystical\, and the mythical have underlying tones and meanings left for the beholder to ponder and engage psychologically. Having studied film and Stanislavski Method Acting allows for a spiritual connection to her subjects expressing emotion and mood. Her study of lighting and movement\, through acting\, dance\, and theater is the catalyst for creating a still image from a cinematic process.  France-Vaz’s patterns of life express a life experience or moment of thought in time. \nFrance-Vaz has been published in Fine Art Connoisseur Magazine\, ModPortrait 2020/2021\,  American Art Collector\, Southwest Art Magazine\, \, ARC Salon\, International Artists\, Realism Today\, and Leonardo Guide Artelibre 2021\, \nHer paintings and commissions hang in private collections.

SUMMARY:Joan Osborne + Crash Test Dummies
DESCRIPTION:Two incredible artists\, each performing their own set! Since she broke through over 25 years ago with the multi-platinum Relish and its touchstone mega-smash “One of Us\,” Joan Osborne the seven-time Grammy nominee has never played it safe. Osborne has followed her restless musical heart\, exploring a diverse range of genres: pop rock\, soul\, R&B\, blues\, roots rock\, gospel\, funk\, and country – all of which can be heard on her latest album Trouble and Strife\, along with the Western side of C&W and a touch of glam and disco. “For a lot of the record\, we were going for a ‘70s AM radio vibe\,” says Osborne. As for the lyrics\, the songs “are the most political I’ve ever written\,” she conveys of her first album of originals since 2014’s confessional Love and Hate. Osborne also produced Trouble and Strife\, primarily recorded in her basement studio in Brooklyn and released on the label she founded in 1991\, Womanly Hips. \n \n\nIn 2018\, 25 years after the release of their multi-Grammy nominated hit album “God Shuffled His Feet”\, The Crash Test Dummies hit the road for the first 8me in 20 years with an Anniversary Tour that spanned North America. The overwhelming recep8on led to a 30th Anniversary Tour in 2022 for their debut release “The Ghosts That Haunt Me” that touched down in the US\, UK\, Germany\, Austria\, the Netherlands\, Luxembourg\, and Canada. And the band is showing no signs of slowing down . . . \n“Touring again was not something we’d planned on\, but surprisingly – at least to me – there are lots of people who many years later\, s8ll want to come and hear us. The folks that are coming out to see these shows tell us their stories\, some of them very funny\, some very dark and all very personal. It’s very humbling\, being in the confidence of so many people” says lead singer-songwriter Brad Roberts\, “and it has inspired us to con8nue to tour and make music.” \nEarly 2023 will see the release a new\, original Crash Test Dummies single “Sacred Alphabet“ as they again hit the road in North America and Europe. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
