hi there! my name is helena and i am a 20-something year old with a passion to create! @artbug666 is my instagram account where i've been sharing my original artwork to thousands of strangers over the past 2 years. there have always been requests from people to buy my artwork, specifically prints and commissions, but i never really knew how to start. after losing my job due to COVID, i finally decided to just do it and open my first etsy shop where selling my work would be possible! and now here we are! :-)

although i've always primarily been a painter working with both oil and acrylic, my work also consists of sculptures that are either made of polymer clay or ceramic. the images i create are inspired by my albanian-american identity & diaspora, femininity, the flawed creatures of greek mythology, and a lot of my own experiences that have shaped me. my art is very personal and (sometimes) relatable and i have always wanted it to be accessible to many people. i appreciate everyone's support in my artistic endeavors and i hope that just obtaining a print of my work evokes even the slightest positive emotion in my customers and supporters.

everything in this shop is handmade by me unless stated otherwise, and all my prints are printed through digicopy. i make my work with so much love, thought and intention and i hope that you feel it when you receive your package !!! xoxo <3
