    "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.

    An ADALÉI purchase is a piece of an ongoing creative process, ensuring each design remains uniquely yours."

    The Studio

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

    Sourced as close to home as the material allows. Raleigh, NC.

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

    The Work

    Original 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 .

    Petite Studies

    Petite Studies are 8" x 8" encaustic works on birch panel. Pigment, wax, and heat — built in layers. Each one is a study in movement and surface.

    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.
