A Contemporary Perspective on Vanitas
Personalized Family Tree Wall Hanging | Growing Love Anniversary Keepsake
Hand-Painted Toucan Wall Art on Reclaimed Wood
This piece is my modern interpretation of the 17th-century Vanitas tradition. While the vibrant floral arrangement draws the eye, a "hidden" skull nestled amongst the petals serves as a classic memento mori—a gentle reminder of the fleeting nature of life.

About Mary Angel by Elissa
Meet Elissa: The Heart and Soul Behind Mary Angel
Welcome to my creative corner! I’m Elissa, the artist and maker behind Mary Angel. For me, art isn’t just about the finished piece; it’s about the stories we tell through texture, color, and hand-stitched details.
My journey is fueled by a passion for transforming simple materials into meaningful keepsakes. Whether I am at my easel painting a sprawling, atmospheric cherry blossom tree or at my sewing table crafting a whimsical rag doll, my goal is always the same: to bring a little more warmth and "crafts with love" into your home.
A Multidisciplinary Approach to Creativity
I don’t like to limit myself to just one medium. I believe a home should be a reflection of the soul, which is why my work spans across:
- Bespoke Textiles: From charming, hand-sewn dolls holding hearts to floral curtain tie-backs that add a romantic touch to any room.
- Fine Art & Painting: My canvas work often explores the beauty of nature, using rich palettes of pinks, purples, and deep earthy tones to create focal points for your living space.
- Unique Home Decor: I love working with wood and mixed media, such as my hand-painted toucan wall art or embroidered "Anniversary Trees" that celebrate life’s most precious milestones.
Why "Crafts with Love"?
In a world of mass production, I believe there is something truly magical about an object that has been touched by human hands. Every stitch in my embroidery and every brushstroke on my wood panels is intentional. When you choose a piece from Mary Angel, you aren’t just buying decor—you’re bringing home a piece of art designed to be cherished for years to come.
