Growing up, I had a few dreams that never waivered, never faded despite having a habit of flitting from one idea to another. I wanted to make beautiful things, and I wanted to be a witch. Belladonna Botanicals is the product of this lifelong passion for creating art and beauty with an aesthetic and spiritual inclination towards the natural world. As a maker, I’m never able to keep my creations to a singular type of item. I always want to learn new things and create new art, and my favorite art, by far, is usable art. Holding a Master of Fine Arts, I’ve put my love for the arts into painting, performance art, fashion and costume design/fabrication, makeup artistry, and of course making beautiful soaps, salves, candles, and more.
