Meet the Artist

Belvitro began with the belief that discarded glass could become something beautiful again. Each bottle is cleaned, prepared, and painted by hand, becoming a one-of-a-kind piece of functional art meant to be used, gifted, displayed, and remembered.

I am Muscogee Creek (Mvskoke). My identity is part of who I am as an artist, but the work itself is mine — personal, expressive, and shaped by my own hand. The patterns and motifs you see come from my own visual language, not from generic cultural shorthand.

I work with reclaimed wine and beer bottles because I love the second life of things. Cobalt glass, in particular, is too beautiful to throw away. I clean each bottle carefully, prepare the surface, and paint with dishwasher-safe glass paint so the work can be used in real life — pouring oil, holding soap, holding a single stem.

Belvitro means "beautiful glass." The pieces are meant to be lived with.
