Abstract Series 122 - Lady Lamb The Beekeeper at The Lizard Lounge
Lady Lamb the Beekeeper is the musical moniker of Aly Spaltro.
Aly primarily grew up in the south west --in Arizona and Nevada--where she spent most of her early childhood years, never more content than when she was making oldies mix tapes with a boombox & flashlight in her closet .
Aly and her family moved to Germany for two years--where she fell in love with the German language,--before settling in her home state of Maine in 2004.
She fell in love with more than a language for the first time in the southern part of Maine, in the same coastal town where her heart was first broken.
Out of these pangs and others came Lady Lamb the Beekeeper, a project which began solely as a means of self-expression & self-reflection during the long, dark winter of 2007 in the scalp of New England.
Lady Lamb the Beekeeper writes sprawling, lyric & melody-based songs about lost , true & unrequited love, nostalgia, nectarine meat, wolf maulings, plum crumb cake & mustard colors, death & Guatemala, airplane rides & airplane crashes, lusting & pining, aubergine & almond colored bedsheets, balance beams hidden in the woods, desert mountain ranges, dreams & nightmares, fawns & fawning, & occasionally "The Neverending Story."
I sing because I need to sing and I sing because life is a mess and music is the most beautiful means of communication and self-expression for me both personally and with humanity.
Think about the first vinyl you ever bought, the first cassette you rewound & rewound. The albums that you've cried to, & regained your strength to. The albums that have shaped you & continue to shape you. The albums you blast in your car on long drives or play quietly as you fall asleep. The albums that make you happy and hopeful & empower you simply by entering your ears. There is a grace and uniqueness between humans making connections with one another through the intricacies , the delicacies, the rhythm & words in a song. This is something so precious, and something I seek to have and share with you.
Between You & I,
Lady Lamb

“The journey into self-love and self-acceptance must begin with self-examination… until you take the journey of self-reflection, it is almost impossible to grow or learn in life.” – Iyanla Vanzant

My inspiration came in part from Johannes Vermeer who was was a Dutch Baroque painter (baptized in Delft as Joannis on October 31 1632, and buried in the same city under the name Jan on December 16 1675).

Why are you always upside down? Just when you think everything is facing straight ahead you end up tilted. The story of my life.
This photo is SOOC too.
Recently, my friend @dianedennis7288 tagged me on FB with the prompt: “Show one image of my art, my life, my studio, or exhibition for 10 consecutive days. The purpose is to promote positivity, passion, and attention to art.” At first I was going to simply post a piece of art I made, each day. As I scrolled through the thousands of photos myself and my wife @krisloyaart took over the years, it started to dawn on me that I had a lot to share, and made me realize that I had accomplished a lot over time, and have led a relatively rich life so far. As a result, this prompt, which on the surface might appear to be a vain exercise in narcissism and self-indulgence, was instead a deep dive in self-reflection, something I’ve been doing a lot of during the past year, already. There was a time, not so long ago, when I didn’t make much art at all, and could not have imagined my work in exhibits, solo shows, selling to collectors, or even calling myself an artist, for that matter. In my younger adult life I worked in retail, fast food, custodial services, a tool factory, and substitute taught, until I was eventually employed as a full-time professional art teacher in the public schools nearly two decades ago. While grateful to have this job, it can be all-consuming, both mentally and physically. For those who think teachers don’t work hard, I offer them a day to step in our shoes. There’s a good chance they’d change their minds. That said, it took years to build an artistic practice, and carving out small increments of time here and there to get to where I currently am. Being an artist is a journey with many peaks and valleys, and I don’t believe in finally “making it”. The things that happen overnight usually burn out as quickly as they caught on fire. Life itself, and the examination of that life is the ultimate inspiration, and there will be dry spells along with times of great productivity. The key is to be curious, stay engaged, and allow for times of rest and reflection, as well as for failure. In the meantime, I’ll be taking a brief social media break until next month. Looking forward to to seeing what folks have been up to in the spring!
i know my place in this world. Precarious and without promise and I move forward, certain that the universe sends me treasures that will challenge and delight me! Sends me knowledge, that I must have faith even when it freightens me. Especially when it freightens me!
Intense self-reflection that would be a good way to describe the past few weeks of my life. At least, these days have been intense, and they have been self-reflective, if not intensively self-reflective...Remarkably, given my propensity towards self-analysis, I think the core of who I am has remained largely opaque, not just to others, but to myself. Perhaps more importantly, it has come to light that I am actually the opposite of who I am, as you'd imagine, will fool any but the most careful of self-analyses...
