easel work
i have walked through my moms' t-shirts,
drying in her kitchen entryway
to begin painting flowers on her cabinets
+ cleared off the clutter that was above + below.
(next, i will bring blues into those blooms)
~
walking into each others lives, through all that it is,
is not always easy work, but it is the work of this easel,
+ of my very life.

magaly perez
i'm an artist who loves to smudge her fingers in paint and make beautiful works of art on paper. and love to share all this beauty to the world. painting is intimate for me, the solitude of space, my paper, my acrylics and brushes. a connection where thoughts and feelings are making beautiful music together . sometimes they spill loudly across the page other times is like listening to blues lavishly rattling the motions in my soul. my heart, my mind are at a flow. the rhythm feels right and once i'm feeling the groove everything i need in that given moment is in place. and i know the story--the image has begun and i'm having fun.

aimee dolich
"I've loved color, words, writing, hand lettering and doodling for as long as I can remember, but for much of my life I kept all those things in separate jars. Then one day, I thought "Hmmm. What if...?" I tossed everything in a bowl, put the mixer on high, and I found that I liked living in my chaos of wordy color. So I stayed, and named it Artsyville. It's my work, play and therapy all in one."

ashley inzer
Hi, I'm Ashley Inzer and I run an intuitive graphic design & high end branding business. I work with entrepreneurs who dare to create the reality they dream of living. This means I work with some serious rockstar women who run conscious-based businesses. Most of these women are coaches, healers, authors, artists & rebels. I really love the rebels :) They reveal to me time and again that we really can have it all.
Since I am naturally an empath I feel things about people, you know? I also have 12 years of professional design experience. This makes for some seriously remarkable graphic design & brand strategy.
- I am fascinated by human behavior and the mind/body/spirit connection.
- I believe in the power of good feelings and delight.
- I take a stand for co-creation and compassion.
I live in Los Angeles, California with my animals & gorgeous husband. Please come and say hello through the links below!
