ABOUT THE ARTIST 

TELL US A BIT ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY AS AN ARTIST? 
I have been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember, but I never imagined it would turn into a career. Graduating during the pandemic, I began sharing and selling my artwork online. It was incredibly fulfilling to see others connect with my work and gave me inspiration to keep creating. Through consistency and dedication, my passion naturally evolved into the career I have today.
WHERE DO YOU DRAW INSPIRATION FOR YOUR ART?
My inspiration comes from the beauty of coastal towns and nature. I love quiet mornings by the sea, observing the water and collecting seashells. I’m also drawn to vibrant flowers, lush greenery, vintage cars, and beach cottages.
HOW DO YOU SPEND YOUR FREE TIME OUTSIDE OF WORK?
I spend the majority of my free time staying active, whether it's surfing and swimming in the ocean or hiking, running, and doing yoga on land. When I'm not doing these activities, I love being with friends and family, often cooking or enjoying a good meal.

 

 

ABOUT THE MAKERS

100% of our apparel is ethically made in a small rural town in the Philippines, by a beautiful group of women who are survivors of human trafficking. We've worked with the Blessed Project since the beginning of Winki and we are so grateful for this partnership. You'll notice a special touch this season on the inside of our tees. They have sewn in a handmade tag with the name of the women who made your sweatshirt. We thought it was a beautiful way for you to connect with your maker and read about their story. Find our Meet Your Maker page here.

 Through The Blessed Project provides women with an income, a new skill and it is also used as a form of therapy while they decide what they want to do in life. Many of the women decide to go to university and school, while some continue to sew as their main source of income! You can read more about our makers here.

As always, thanks for the continued love and support of this lil dream of ours.
