Painting → Photograph → Silkscreen

In 2015, all of my hair fell out with my alopecia. For years I hid and cried and was embarrassed to be seen (and it took me several years to even let my husband see me bald.)

10 years later, I did the scariest thing and went to the state fair completely bald, eyebrows and all. I've never been more terrified and have my "fight or flight" instincts going haywire for hours. But you know what? I ended the night feeling totally empowered.

I was terrified people would be mean. Make comments. Say I was ugly. But you know what? None of my fears came true. People were kind and compassionate.

I never felt so vulnerable in my life, and I ended up having a night filled with love and support from my friends and having so much fun.

I started putting my art on clothing to help feel more confident, live boldly and celebrate feeling beautiful on the outside and inside. Thanks for coming on this journey with me. 🫶 - Tess

Wanderlust

For the babes seeking endless adventure.  We love the feminine energy of these pieces, and you'll feel like a goddess from sunup until sundown. After a morning of meditation and hot yoga, she's perfect to hop right to the cafe for your matcha & acai bowl....mmmm....

Inspiration originates from our adventures from Amboseli Kenya to our fave mornings in Tokyo taking hot yoga on lava stone @ Insea before hitting our favey Bondi Cafe Hiroo XO
