In my elementary school my music teacher, Mr. Hill, began every single class with the song, ‘The World is a Rainbow.’ Some of the lyrics to this song are, ‘It takes all kinds of people to make the world go round.’ I always wanted to take that idea and make it into a piece of art because that really affected me, just singing that song over and over. I wanted something that would be the same message, but through art since I can’t sing!

What we see in our outside affects your internal views and vice versa. So, if people are seeing images of everyone together, as a harmonious whole, loving each other, then hopefully that will reflect inside people as well. That will change how they act toward others and bring general happiness.

About The Artist:
Vibrant colors permeate the art of Charlotte native Liz Haywood. Liz graduated from Appalachian State University and then attended the Portfolio Center in Atlanta. She completed her studies winning several student awards. Liz was attracted to the professional challenge of working in New York. She worked primarily as a graphic artist in Manhattan for seven years. After attaining the position as head of graphic design for the popular shoe brand, Dolce Vita, she focused on establishing herself as an independent artist. Returning to the south, she developed a steady demand for her art through social media and local showings. In Atlanta, she painted several murals in public spaces to voice her social concerns. After relocating to Charlotte, Liz created a body of work for festivals and arts shows, including Bethesda Art Row and The Festival in The Park. She was awarded an Honorable Mention by SouthEnd Arts and the Brooklyn Collective in 2021. That year Liz was also accepted into a mural residency program by Brand the Moth, where she completed her capstone mural at Lenny Boy Brewing Company. Liz’s work is now being displayed nationwide after being juried into the ArtPop class of 2022.
