Calista Wartin on art as a career, experimentation & trusting your gut

The concept of 'sooteliers' emerged during a study break when I was looking for a platform to showcase my concealed artworks. Seeing friends curious about my creations, I created 'sooteliers'—a mix of "atelier," representing an artist's studio, and my nickname "misoo" (or soo) - which I came up with for a video game account and that my friends started eventually calling me by. Now, sooteliers is a collection of all my little pieces of art including and hopefully not limited to - painting, photography and graphic design. I intend to keep adding more to this so, embark on this journey with me through 'sooteliers,' where I aspire to inspire creativity and share my evolution as a professional artist or graphic designer.
