Works In Progress
It all begins with an idea...
I’ve added a section to my website dedicated to showcasing the artworks I’m currently working on. While I love sharing my past commissions and finished pieces, I also want to give you a glimpse into what’s unfolding in the studio right now. As each artwork develops, I document its progress—capturing the transformation from the initial concept to the final piece. Be sure to check back regularly to see how these creations are evolving! It’s always fascinating to watch the journey of an artwork come to life.

Currently, I am experimenting with different surfaces to paint on—such as; denim jackets and jeans, bucket and fitted hats, bags, and shoes. I have always been someone that loves to personalize accessories and apparel. It has been bringing so much joy to me, painting my original art, now, on apparel. I will be posting photos of some of the apparel I have been working on these past few months, soon! STAY TUNED!
I am also now going into hand sculpting jewelry. More specifically, using polymer clay to create earrings, necklace pendants, keychains, bracelet charms, and button pins. This has definitely been a learning curve for me! I’ve never worked with polymer clay before and it’s definitely a skill I wanted to learn and hone! This is scratching the itch for me to sculpt! In many ways, I feel this new art venture, has been a labor of love AND torment! I must admit, though, that these experiences have been fulfilling and humbling!
As I journey deeper into this new chapter of creating art full-time, my path is branching into handmade treasures and soulful goods adorned with my original work. I find beauty in the boundless nature of art…in its quiet invitation to explore, to grow, to learn new hands and languages of expression. There is magic in the endless ways an idea can bloom into something real, something that speaks. Each piece, a whisper of wonder made visible. To be able to create full time has been a lifelong coming…a dream manifested and my present reality! For all that I am experiencing now, I am in deep gratitude and my heart is bursting with joy! I do hope to see you again! Please do come and visit again to see what new art adventures I partake upon! 💜 Alitha
