Vida+Luz

Seattle, WA

ARTIST'S STATEMENT

Vida + Luz = Life + Light. Driftwood and hammered brass art. Inspired by nature and the juxtaposition of natural and geometric forms. Artist, Jessica Salazar My creative work with Vida + Luz is reflective of my childhood years, spent running amuck on the sandy banks of the Skagit delta, on Fir Island, WA. Vida + Luz pieces are handmade from start to finish using hand cut and hand textured raw brass. Much of my work includes moon and celestial shapes symbolizing the lunar connection to tidal rhythms that form the river delta. Wood pieces begin with unique salvaged driftwood from our family farm property, buffed by the sand and shaped by the glacial Skagit River waters. We are proud to equip and empower women artisans through flexible, work from home employment and business skills. Our studio is located on the outskirts of Seattle in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. We currently have a team of 7 women artisans who bring Vida + Luz to life.
