Allee Willis Portrait

There are people in my life who are constantly inspiring me to live out my creative veins - and Allee Willis definitely is one of them.

Who is Alle Willis you´re might wondering now. I´m sure you know her work very well without being aware of it! Allee is a Grammy, Emmy, Tony and Webbie award-winning and nominated songwriter, has collaborated with hundreds of leading artists and composers from all fields of music, her songs have sold over 50,000,000 records, like for starters many songs from Earth, Wind & Fire, Pet Shop Boys and the Pointer Sisters. She is the source of many earworms you know by a heartbeat when you hear them.

But Allee is not only a songwriter, she´s also a very gifted and accomplished multi-media artist, designer and with no doubt the most enthusiastic collector of KITSCH that ever walked on this planet - why she really deserves to hold the undisputed title "The Queen of Kitsch".



Her pink painted Los Angeles home, which she fondly calls "Willis Wonderland" is an incredibly amazing omnium gatherum of beautiful colorful curiousities and she also created AWMOK ("Allee Willis´Museum of Kitsch"), an international platform for Kitsch-Lovers from all over the world, which you can find here:

AWMOK

As a passionate Kitsch-Lover I became a a regular contributor to her page and got to know her as one of the most gorgeous personalities I ever met, a woman that´s constantly radiating happiness and creativity, very open-hearted, genuine and supportive.

As Allee loves everything artsy her followers create I painted a very colorful portrait of her, which now found it´s new home in Willis Wonderland, what makes me very happy!



You can also find it perpetuated and awarded at AWMOK here:
