ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Carolina Chaves Urruzmendi



The collection above called In the Ancient Language of Trees is by Los Angeles based artist Carolina Chaves Urruzmendi. Her work is instantly captivating and unique. I love to find out the story or inspiration behind an artists work!! When I asked what her inspiration was behind this particular collection she shares while growing up in Uruguay South America she was "inspired by the mystical quality of it's fauna & flora. As a child I played in the waters of the River Yi and felt the overwhelming presence of nature all around me. The trees whispered through the breeze & I listened."
