Ella Mental

$ ARTIST $
Ella Mental was established in 2002 as a fashion label and signature fine art name by the artist Alyssa Ghessi.
Alyssa is a San Francisco artist classically trained in oil painting. She has expanded her repertoire as a self-taught seamstress, hat and jewelry maker, and commercial muralist. She is also a performer and fine art model for print and runway.
She considers herself a "Jill-of-all-Trades" since she juggles many creative interests at one time. Always the romantic, she views the everyday world as a bouquet of experiences. Thus, her art is always a one-of-a-kind work balancing aesthetics with the creative pursuit of individuality.
Her experimental creations are inspired and supported by the Burning Man Festival community and the fantastic art and fashion scene of San Francisco. Ella Mental hats are exibited at the infamously popular Chillin' events. Her jewelry and hats are at the store, Ceiba, on Upper Haight St.
Ella Mental is an artistic lifestyle that promotes the zany fulfillment that is derived from the creative exercises of the mind...
...go forth, but please be "MeNtAl"!
