Meet Our Cozy Studio
We three run a tight ship.
Our mission is to make quality product that delights and beguiles.
Shown center is Joline El-Hai, artist and founder of Bella Luz Studio. She's the brains of the operation and the creative director. She loves to make things out of light and color. Her garden and the natural world are a great inspiration to her.
Kate Paisley and Kerb Lydick assist Joline with every phase of production of the Bella Luz lights and cards. There are a lot of little parts and pieces to keep track of and skillfull crafting to be done. They do it all with finesse, comradery, good cheer and goofiness galore. They are wonderful artists in their own right.
New Products
Here are the latest from the studio:
LUMINETTES: "Crow with Berry" and "Dinosaurs."
SCONCES: "Fireflies" and "Virgin of Guadalupe."
NOTECARDS: "Emperor Penguins," "Orchid," "Giraffe Family" and "Book Fairies."
Launch of New Site!
In addition to the Bella Luz line of lights and notecards, our website now has three new galleries featuring the other facets of Joline's artwork. You are invited to view her painted and fused lightboxes, jewelry and wall masks on the "fine art glass" pages.
