Beautiful, creative, uniquely-you.
When I was young, I became interested in art and jewelry design due to my lack of mobility. I was born with a genetic bone disorder called Osteogenesis Imperfecta, or Brittle Bone Disease, which causes my bones to grow abnormally and break easily. Since I wasn't able to do many of the physical activities my peers enjoyed, I found great value in artistic expression at a young age.
Through my years of education, I learned several different artistic mediums and found that I enjoyed painting and jewelry making best. I have been painting, mostly with watercolors, since I was five and designing jewelry for the last twenty years or so. After graduating from Loyola University New Orleans with a bachelor's degree in Graphic Design in 2011, I began my own business, KAK ART & Designs, where I make jewelry, paint, and do freelance graphic design full-time.
My Etsy shop is a smattering of my original art, gift items, and beaded jewelry designs. Here you'll find watercolor art of almost every animal imaginable, the perfect blanket, mug, or ornament for your mom, and one-of-a-kind jewelry designs made with semiprecious and precious gemstones. With such a wide variety of art and homeware items, my shop is the place to find the perfect gift for every occasion!
