Starlist Petals, 12"x12", $425.00

I am a passionate artist who pursed her BA at UAB (University of Alabama at Birmingham), with a concentration in graphic design. Growing up in a multicultural household and traveling to numerous countries have ignited my interest in learning about diverse cultures and broadened my perspectives. As the world is filled with various unique elements, my art naturally reflects the versatility, harmony, and expressiveness of those elements. Feminine, metaphysical/spiritual, and simplicity are the main components of my style. While my normal aesthetic is feminine and abstract, I tend to extend to other art forms to create works that best match the desired look and/or message. Such components come from the inspiration of the open-mindedness and abstract ideas the world has to offer. ​

Whispers of Spring, 12"x9", $275.00

I’m a paper quilling artist known for a vibrant, distinctive style that brings “fruitful colors” and joy into homes and creative spaces. I love pushing the boundaries of this centuries-old craft, blending modern expression with the precision and patience quilling demands. From an early age, I’ve been drawn to art and design, teaching myself skills ranging from intricate mandalas to origami, shaped by travel and a culturally rich upbringing. I later earned a degree in graphic design from the University of Alabama in Birmingham, where I honed my creativity, design sense, and attention to detail.

During the process of creating art, I am mindful and meticulous of every perspective and element being incorporated into the project as every single one is connected. I am creating, solving, and assembling all the pieces of the puzzle to produce an exceptional piece of art. Every step I take while making my art, I think about the fluidity and transition each element will create for the final product. It is vital to be aware of how every element affects one another, from the small, specific section to the overall big picture. ​ The best artwork I have created have been from difficult projects that challenge both my skills and artistic mindset. Just like life itself constantly evolving, my art flourishes as I continue to learn new skills while improving current skills along with my desire and ambition to create any form of art for the future. ​
