C A S I M I R A: the secret to Valentine's Day

Sunday, February 14

the secret to Valentine's Day

I have always dismissed Valentine's Day as a commercialized "Hallmark" holiday. I have often wondered why couples would elect February 14th to become engaged or to get married, but that is JUST ME.

I personally don't find the romance in a day dedicated to hearts, chocolate and red roses...

I recently had a revelation. In order FOR ME to enjoy this silly, cheesy day, I need to access and celebrate my inner child...the little girl in me who loves to play and laugh...the "tween" in me who finds romance everywhere...

...and for those dear ones who have become engaged or married today, Happy Anniversary...

Brief Bio

CASIMIRA grew up surrounded by art and storytelling with music and poetry playing a part of everyday life. She developed a fascination for textiles and clay since early childhood.

An educational background in art history and romance languages served as inspiration when CASIMIRA began creating poetic wearable pieces from wire, vintage beads and objets trouvés. She has studied in Europe and Latin America and is continuously diving into studio art courses. Private collectors may be found in Europe, Latin America, Australia, Asia, Canada and throughout the United States.

She believes in the healing power of nature, meditates under moonlight and wishes upon stars. She treasures old love letters, dreams of publishing her mountain of journals and of one day living by the sea...

When not painting, sculpting or writing, CASIMIRA is reading, playing with crystals and stones, practicing yoga, volunteering for favorite non-profits and dancing dreams into realities with her best friends and soul mates - her husband and their young children.
