February 1, 2012 FIRST FRIDAY VENDORS
 
FEATURED FEBRUARY VENDOR
 
Name:  Cyaltsa  "sigh-alt-suh"

Company Name:  Creative Cuzzin

How long have you been doing this? I've been painting for the past 3 years, and metal sculpting occasionally for the past 10 years.  More recently in the past two years, however, my painting creations have blossomed.  Moving to Hawaii from Washington State, I believe in my heart, is the reason for this growth.

What made you start your business? The desire to share my work with the world, to encourage and inspire others.

What inspires your designs? The cultural feeling of the two places that I call HOME:  the Lummi Rez in Bellingham, WA (where I was born and raised) and Hawaii, where I currently reside. The commonality between the two: Our Ocean. Our cultures. Our hearts and spirits. And our sacred land.
If you had advice for any new up-and-coming artists out there what would it be? I myself feel to be a new up and coming artist, so I would just advise what i tell myself, "Keep doing what your doing. Keep your visions close to your heart. Believe in yourself and your abilities. Keep an open mind, heart, and soul. And keep doing what you love to do and be happy to share it."
 
CreativeCuzzin - My artwork consists of acrylic paintings and metal art with a Native American/Hawaiian flavor, (originals and prints are available on some of the paintings).  These works are created on different mediums, such as metal, plastics (both of which are scrap pieces from my daytime job sites), and mostly stretched canvases and boards.  I also have miscellaneous metal sculptures of steel, along with some Dream catchers are made of rebar and plastic coated metal wire. www.creativecuzzin.com
