    • "I created ADALÉI for anyone seeking intentional design in a curated and collected home— pieces that are made, not sourced. My love of artistry, craft, and making beautiful things with my hands is the core of everything in the collection.

    The working studio is a continuous space of creation.

    Producing original encaustic art, original textiles, and curated micro-batch pillows from limited-yardage luxury fabrics — the pieces are designed, inspired by the other, and create cohesive groupings. Once a curation sells through, the studio moves on to the next creative work.

    All of the work you see you see was created from the studio. The art. The photography. The handcrafted textiles. The words.

    None of this is AI. None is copied. My work is my own"

    The Edge is the Art

    Encaustic is finished on wood cradle boards — no frame required. The sides are finished as an extension and completion of the work — deep char using Shou Sugi Ban technique, warm caramel char and wax, or sealed in the pigmented encaustic medium. The material decides.

    The Studio

    Original and Commissioned Art.

    A working studio. Every piece is designed and made by the same hand.

    No backstock. No mass production. A continuous space of creation.

    The Work

    Encaustic art and micro-batch luxury pilows — made in limited yardage, designed as cohesive groupings.

    Each piece part of a numbered studio run. When a curation sells through, the creative process continues.

    The Practice

    Using techniques both old and new — a modern interpretation of textiles and art.

    Wax, fiber, and fabric - combined into my own creative voice.

    Dedicated to the art of the collected room.

    Alpaca Boucle Pillow

    Alpaca and wool boucle, woven in Belgium. The texture and depth of this fabric was the starting point for "Remaining Light" - the encaustic work it's paired with.

    The Art of Creating with Fire

    "Remaining Light" — The ancient technique of fusing dry pigment, damar resin, and wax to wood - worked with blowtorch, hot metal tools, and heat gun to melt and build layers of color and texture.  A modern interpretation of encaustic painting .

    Pairings

    Encaustic work and studio textiles, conceived in the same studio from the same palette. Each pairing is made to live together in a space — not coordinated, but connected during design.
