about the artist

hi! i'm luelle, a 1999 baby, which means i grew up with a flip phone and the core belief that the little things are actually the big things.

i'm a self-taught artist. i enjoy letting curiosity lead and figuring out the rest out along the way. i've been selling my work since 2016, during my high school days. after that i obtained a business degree, a whole lotta life happened. which in turn produced art that grew with me.

today my work lives at the intersection of mental & physical health, the shared human experience, and the search for order within chaos. i mainly create using mixed media, because one style never quite feels like enough due to the fact that i paint feelings more often than not.

my favorite colors are baby blue and pale yellow together because the way the sky looks around golden hour right before sunset everyday. It's soft, like something remembered.

i like to know the reason behind someone's favorite color.. because people often just say "blue." but when you ask why they say the sky on a specific afternoon, their grandmother's kitchen, or their favorite t-shirt. that's what i'm curious of. the moment a color stopped being a color and became a feeling.

i believe that art is just one person saying me too while finally feeling not only seen but found.

so: welcome to the vine. i'm glad you're here

the big change
during the first quarter of 2026, i had multiple hospital bracelets in my junk journal. by the beginning of the second quarter, i was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

if you don't know, ms is a chronic illness where the immune system turns on itself, attacking the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. it disrupts the signals between the brain and the body, like a wire losing its insulation. for me, that looked like relearning how to do simple tasks, some days being harder than others, & rebuilding trust with a body that felt suddenly foreign.

m.s. has taught me to slow down and smell the roses as a daily practice. i stopped rushing through life because rushing was and is no longer an option. that has changed my art in ways i didn't expect.

i used to go go go, creating an entire painting in a single all nighter. now i move with intention.. and i've realized that's where the real work lives. i have to live a life to create art that means something to me.

i have to let myself feel the loss, the confusion, and the unexpected joy. i have to allow play and happy accidents to land without judgment. m.s. reminded me that creativity, like healing, doesn't follow a schedule. it asks you to show up, be present, and trust the process even when the outcome is uncertain. these art pieces are grown in that in-between place.. where grief and gratitude, fear and freedom, and love and loss live..

i am grieving two lives at once.. the one i knew before, and the one i imagined i'd have. that kind of grief doesn't follow a straight line. but somewhere inside of it, i found something i wasn't expecting: presence.

grown with intention from the vine.

luelle's artist statement

i make art about the things that are hard to say out loud.

my work is rooted in emotion, psychology, the shared messiness of being human, the tension between chaos and clarity, the beauty that grows out of disorder, and the way the spirit bends and somehow doesn't break. inspired by van gogh's impressionism of soft honesty and miró's dreamlike freedom, i paint feelings more than subjects, and i trust the process to say what words can't quite reach.

my tarot card series lives deepest in that space, where the mind and the worlds it imagines blur together. each creation unravels into movement, color, and vulnerability. it's an invitation to sit with the chaos long enough to find the humanity beneath it.

my nightcap series plays in a different register entirely. a black void of space meets cartoonish color and impressionistic detail, the contrast isn't accidental. it's the tension itself that creates the focal point, proof that opposing forces don't cancel each other out, they complement each other in the oddest of ways.

my pet portraits are something more personal. we can all take a quick pic but a painting reaches for something magical that a photo tends to flatten. it's less about likeness and more about essence: the particular way they carry themselves, the light in their eyes, the feeling of them in a room. that's the magic moment that i implore to portray.

across all of pods, i'm exploring what happens when different styles, textures, and emotional registers are allowed to exist alongside each other. that contrast is where something true tends to emerge.

thanks for exploring the pods.
