Artist Statements: Hello, I’m Enyo! Thanks for taking the time to look at and read about my work. I am a multimedia artist who has been making wearable art for over seven years. My wearable art has been described by others as “eerie, witchy, and whimsical”, and accurately so, as each piece is a combination alchemy, ritual, creative expressions, and therapy. My main focus has been on organic materials, and I especially enjoy when ethically sourced animal bones, turquoise, and crystals are involved in the process. I am always intentionally and thoughtfully sourcing all materials and always creating with loving energy. Find them at http://enyocreations.bigcartel.com
