Violet Marie Bast is a Los Angeles-based 🏷️#artist and conscious community organizer. She focuses on the intersection of immersive art and community building, specifically through the lens of body art and social experiences. She is the founder of @PaintedUltraViolet, a service specializing in UV body art, and curates @daydream.experience, a series of events designed to foster creative connection. Her work often utilizes light and color to transform social environments. Additionally, she serves as the host for The Absurd Picnic, a recurring gathering scheduled for February 1st that emphasizes play and unconventional social interaction.
I was first introduced to Violet by the Instagram algorithm that correctly assumed I needed to be aware of her Absurd Picnic. sometime later, she arrived at my house to drop off 📝Onyx for a stay in 📝My Studio. I immediately knew she looked familiar, but it took me a few minutes to connect the dots.
