Ela Mella is pun-loving painter and creator based in Los Angeles on a mission to spread love through art and unity through laughter. In this episode Ela opens up and shares where that positivity came from and how living through the lowest low can really change a girl\u2019s perspective. We also talk about how LA, the city and the lifestyle, creeped into her east coast brain to create the art she\u2019s known for today. And now, only a year after beginning this particular subject matter we\u2019ll be discussing, she\u2019s achieved her goal of having a collection, a style that\u2019s all her own, which is so identifiable. She gives us the inside scoop on exactly how she creates her pieces, which are a fine art and digital hybrid. And listen up if you\u2019re an illustrator who makes prints\u2026Ela\u2019s prints are absolutely gorgeous and so high quality and the color is so consistent, and she tells us how and where her prints are made!
