The hand-crafted products of passion, earth-consciousness, faith, and the endless possibilities of art.
About Us
A one-woman brand, Lion's Den Creative (LDC) combines Vanessa’s passions for creative expression through visual art and environmental consciousness and serves as her constant reminder and a testament of what faith can do, as expressed in Daniel 6 (the Biblical/historical account of Daniel and the lion's den). Through LDC, she extends a warm invitation to be walking testaments of the very life and inspiration that art conveys while being conscious of our impact on the planet, one hand-made piece at a time.
MESSAGE FROM THE ARTIST & OWNER, VANESSA VILLARREAL
Hello and thank you for being here!
My name is Vanessa Villarreal and I am a mixed-media visual artist (I have a studio practice outside of LDC), Follower of Christ, avid thrifter, eldest daughter/sister, and active community member based in Washington, D.C. (I take all of these roles very seriously haha)!
For as long as I can remember, I have been experimenting with different mediums, tapping into and developing my personal realm of artistic ability. In 2018, I was inspired to finally test the waters and pick up a paint brush, paint, and a pair of thrifted jeans. Merging my love for sustainable fashion and visual arts, I carried myself away, discovering and developing a relatively new skill, escape, and form of expression.
What was a simple experiment grew into a passion to encourage and awaken the artistic spirit that lies within all of us, myself included. With nothing but my faith, paint, and a growing collection of denim, I started Lion’s Den Creative in hopes of contributing to the expression of God's creation through the visual arts while promoting Earth-conscious shopping. Since 2022, I've committed to LDC full-time and am excited for the journey ahead, personally, artistically, professionally, and as a growing community.
By making my art available to all, I invite you all to showcase and be testaments of the life that art brings, one hand-crafted piece at a time.
