One of a kind Handmade Jewelry & Artwork
Hello fellow jewelry and art lovers, I am so very delighted to welcome you to my shop!
I have always loved to make unique art pieces, and have always wanted to share them for other people to enjoy. I think we all need a little extra sparkle and/or color in our lives, & having this little shop is a bit of a dream come true for me in trying to accomplish that for everyone. Even if only in a small way.
A little about me...
My name is Kaytrin. Hello. Nice to meet you.
I grew up in Southern California with my parents, younger sister, and several different cats through the years.
Our family has always been on the creative and art talented side, and I guess it is only natural that I follow in those footsteps!
I have always loved to craft, sketch, and paint - so I went to art school at CCA! I studied abroad in Italy for a summer, and managed to travel to Paris while I was there - it is such a beautiful and magical place, and was a dream come true! In 2008 I graduated with a BFA in Painting and Drawing...and struggled to crate on my own after that.
Then began the truly difficult journey to creating artwork outside of school. For me, and my situation, this is more difficult than it should be. I'm a work in progress as an artist. I explain more in my 'Reimagined' series of artwork. This store is a way for me to encourage myself to continue creating, even if just for myself.
Inspiration comes in many forms for me. I love nature. It inspires me in the shapes, colors, and light. Spending time hiking and walking outdoors brings much inspiration. Other artists also bring inspiration. Particularly from the European Renaissance, but really any figurative and nature inspired artwork leaves me wanting to create. But mostly, I just like to create as a way to clear my mind. So I usually don't really have much of a plan when I start to work. Maybe just a color or a basic outline in my head that I start with. Or an image that I cannot get out of my head. I use it as therapy and a way to help me get through everyday anxieties or express my ideas, experiences, and feelings.
🦋Thank you so much for visiting! ✨
