About Eclectic Squared Arts
Our Creative Vision
"Our Creative Vision: At Eclectic Squared Arts, our vision is to inspire mindfulness, self-expression, and conscious living. We purposefully transform overlooked, unwanted materials into meaningful, one-of-a-kind fine art and wearable design. By blending jewelry design and assembly, drawing, painting, and photography, we celebrate personal resilience. Rooted in intention, our studio directly supports community mental health initiatives. We prove that art can heal both physical spaces and the human spirit; this is where imagination meets purpose, and every story gets a second chance."
Our Story
Bobbie Elam is a multidisciplinary artist based in Overland Park, Kansas. Born in Kansas City, Missouri, he has maintained an active creative practice for more than 30 years. He began his artistic studies under Peggy Lyon at Chase County High School in Cottonwood Falls, Kansas, and has continued his development through independent study and studio practice. Working primarily across painting, drawing, digital media, and jewelry design, Elam explores emotion, movement, and abstraction. Whether investigating color and rhythm on canvas or transforming discarded elements into wearable narratives, his work celebrates personal resilience. In 2026, he founded Eclectic Squared Arts LLC, through which he presents his work publicly while supporting community mental health initiatives and charitable causes."
Our Pledge
Our Pledge to Mental Health: We believe that creativity is not just about beauty; it is a vital vehicle for expression, connection, and healing. We recognize that friends, family, and many in our community, including creators and artists, navigate the daily challenges of mental wellness. That is why our studio officially pledges ongoing financial support to local mental health initiatives and advocacy. We believe that no one should have to walk their journey alone, and that professional support and community resources must be accessible to all.
