Artist Bio:
MyaLuise.
As human beings, we are living and breathing amalgamations of the experiences we experience, places we live and visit, and people we see and know. My work is hard to categorize and may seem to be without a common theme. The reason for this is to deter monotony or predictability. I always consider the environment and its creatures in my designs-having ethics and morals.
Ethnic and tribal cultures around the world inspire me immensely; therefore influence my overall design aesthetic. I appreciate their dedication in each culture to certain motifs, fabric choices, and traditional garments. I travel a lot and collect artifacts and talismen everywhere I go.
On the other end of the spectrum, I love feminine and intricate styles stemming from early 20th century Victorian, with a mix of the 70's free-flowing bohemian.
Nature plays a big role in my aesthetics as well- with organic shapes, colors, and natural irregularities blending all within.
I enjoy using innovative textiles, new forms of textile manipulations, and embellishments that have traditionally not been applied to the body- which is extremely captivating to me, and a prime element in most of my designs.

Local women in Afghanistan have a belt that Therese and I designed to create locally and sell to tourists- to earn deserving wages.
