As we move toward a more socially conscious world, more and more people are looking for ways to shop small, support artists, and be more intentional with where their money goes. Supporting small artists and businesses is more than just buying something cute. It helps real people keep creating, pay bills, grow their work, and keep making art. It doesn't always have to be monetary either, it can be something as simple as writing a comment (with actual words, not just emojis) or

Before Soltera Creative, there was Brewja Co. And before I explain anything else: Brewja Co is not dead. She is simply resting, reorganizing, and waiting for me to get a few more things in order.

I’m a Chicagoland-based Chicana artist, multidisciplinary creative, and someone who has a lot of aspirations in life. One of my many truths in life is that art has always been a necessity. Some of my earliest memories of joy involve drawing, making things, and getting completely lost i

There’s something incredibly surreal about making art in your home, surrounded by half-finished ideas, paint-stained clothes, random bursts of inspiration—and then realizing those pieces eventually leave your hands and end up in the world. Art is deeply personal to me (and every other artist duh). For me each work starts somewhere small: a feeling, a weird little thought, a color combination I can’t stop thinking about, or sometimes an odd experience that somehow turns into s
