Hi there, It’s nice to meet you! I’m Ashlee, the founder and maker behind Eva-Lauren Designs. Currently, I handcraft timeless metal and semi precious gemstone jewelry and accessories that express the essence of countless universal themes, geometry, nature, and architecture. Each piece is fun and makes a statement whether worn for a night out, a day of fun, or in the workplace. https://evalaurendesigns.com
The Hawicz Collection of decorative masks and egg artistry are created by Basia Haszlakiewicz. Masks are her preferred choice of artistic expression, as varied as the people we meet on a daily basis. “Pisanki” are decorated Easter eggs, in the tradition of the Slavic folk art. Basia has taken this craft to new dimension and infused them with stories and fantasies on a tiny scale.
The compositions are primarily a product of found objects, accumulated over many decades including a variety of embellishments, toys, nail art, seashells, stones, jewels, hardware, and just an unusual combination of everyday “stuff”. Each work starts with a palette of materials that evolves, unfolds. The artist’s studio is a cornucopia of tools, adhesives, and findings.
Precia Harthco has a Bachelor of Arts degree in interior design, specializing in hospitality design.
“Crafting has always been a part of my life,” she says. “In the 70s I dabbled in macrame and decoupage. The 80s and 90s saw stained glass and copper foiling. At the turn of the century everything was fair game: Jewelry, etched glass, beading, ballroom dance dresses, but by then I was really focusing on my interior designs. In 2020 during the COVID epidemic I finally found wet-felting and realized it combined all my creative cravings: the color pallet is infinite, I learn new techniques almost every day, the experience is refreshing, the tactile involvement is cathartic, and each piece I complete makes me want to do more.”
Finally settling in Houston, Texas, she has a small home studio where she spends her days blending colors and textures to create the perfect piece.

Over my career as an artist, I have used a wide variety of styles from Pop to abstract art. I begin each work of art without a clear destination. Each piece has its own unique personality. My work is generally colorful, playful and uniquely weird. I make art because that’s what I’m here to do.

I paint big, colorful flowers. I am fascinated by the repetitive shapes, the colors, and the energy of plants and flowers. They are each so unique and different, almost as if they have little personalities. I love the big bold varieties of sunflowers and zinnias, as well as exotic tropicals like hibiscus and bird of paradise. I could paint them for hours and never get tired of it. I keep my garden chock-full of all these types so I get to live with them and study them. They are constantly making me smile and informing my work.
My art is uplifting and positive. There’s enough heavy negativity these days, so I’m doing my part to put positive energy back into the world. Color saves lives. It inspires us to think better, work smarter, and play more. My art is about beauty, color, and joy, and ultimately, it’s about hope.
