About me
Welcome!
My name is Vienna Quiles. I'm an Artist, Surface Pattern Designer, and Photographer, working out of Southern California.
The first thing you should know about me is that I love what I do...
creating new and beautiful things from my imagination (and yours). I'm always looking for something innovative to explore and not afraid to experiment. My designs range from whimsy, to chic, from nature, abstract/graphics, vintage, florals, hand-painted watercolors, etc.
My love of the arts began at age 9. I loved to draw, color and make clothes for my Shirley Temple doll. In school, art was my favorite subject. Using all the medium choices available, I could let my imagination soar.
In 5th grade I was asked to help paint a school mural in acrylics. My High School art teacher praised my work and told me I was a true artist. Throughout High School and afterwards, I still continued to paint, draw, sew and make my own clothes. I loved working with all kinds of fabrics. Little did I know that someday, I'd be designing my own!
My years in college were filled with classes in drawing, designing and photography. Working towards a Fine Arts Degree, I completed courses in Art History, Gallery Design, Photography, Interior Design, Oil Painting and Architectural Design.
I later opened my own Interior Design business, sold Fine Art Reproductions and began working for a Stained Glass studio in Palos Verdes, CA. I found that I really liked working in glass so I opened my own glass studio, Designs In Glass. I spent 15 years using all the skills I learned, towards creating beautiful architectural glass products (doors, windows, skylights, etc.) for my clients.
It's been a long and exciting journey but I'm not done yet. Over a year ago, I discovered the world of Surface Pattern Design and fell in love all over again. The process of taking something hand drawn, changing it into vector images that can be applied to any surface such as, fabric, wallpaper, stationery, home decor, etc. is truly amazing. I'm hooked and moving forward in this wonderful field.
I can't wait for you to see what I can do, and meet more artistically talented business owners and co-creators in this wonderful world of Surface Patter Design.
