Calla Michaelides Lokku is an Artist with an education and professional background in Fashion Design. Through her experience as a dancer and yoga practitioner, she is enamored with settling into the physical sensations of art making in order to escape the mind and meet the true self. Through hand dyeing and mixed media abstracts, Calla is currently experimenting with how to take techniques from the ever popular craft of Macramé and transform it into something her own. She can also be found experimenting with small, quick, color driven abstracts inspired solely by conversation with individuals. Calla’s work is largely collaborative in that the majority of her pieces are custom made for a specific person, family, home, and intention. Calla enjoys the creative dance between herself and collector- welcoming the challenges and new perspective each person brings. Ultimately, Calla intends to create a piece of work that makes the subject feel understood.

Having learned much about myself and the world through other people's art, I value and strive to contribute to the collective creative expression.

Through intimate compositions, we turn inward to connect with the self, and, in turn, the rest of humanity.
