What is your story?
Where is this web of life taking you?

I am a firm believer in the power of storiesโ€”the stories we tell ourselves, the stories we tell others, the stories we share as a collective. Human beings are deeply entwined in a collective narrative, yet each person contains a lifetime of experience that is but one thread within the greater tapestry of our existence.

Each piece from Anthropoloca is infused with a pinch of adventure, a dash of wanderlust, and the threads of my own story. My craft offers me the opportunity to connectโ€”to share my stories, to listen to yours, and to find the common humanity we all share. Because, in the end, I truly believe all most people want is to be seen, heard, and listened to.

I create my art because I cannot imagine life without it. I create because I believe life is art. I create to bring more beauty into the world. I create to push the boundaries of what I think is possible. I create because I love the connection it brings to you. You, who honors me by incorporating my creations into your lifeโ€™s adventure. You, who is unafraid to forge lifeโ€™s path. You, who stands up for your beliefs and stands out in the crowd. You, who moves to your own rhythm and isnโ€™t afraid to dance when no one else is. You, who isnโ€™t afraid to venture out and find your own version of โ€œloca.โ€

Together, we weave a story of independence, community, fierceness, softness, perseverance, strength and connection. This connection me to inspires me to continue seeking, exploring, and observing the infinite paths to live by the mantra โ€œtime is creation, art, and beauty.โ€

We all have a story to tell, what is yours? Show the world your strength, grace, and fearlessness to always be true to yourself and rock your loca.
