Inspired Artist: A. Osa in the Garden of Love

Periodically, I’ll be featuring inspired artists. They are chosen both for their beautiful work and as an example of the ideals of Art Aligned — they align their art with their individuality and have established a unique niche in the marketplace.

On one of the busiest shopping streets in the expat district of Chiang Mai, Thailand, is a little confection of a shop called Garden of Love.

Fairies with wands and wings, dressed as goddesses and witches, hitching rides on balloons, and perched on rose-covered swings, swirl and dance above your head in perpetual motion.

Every day, you’ll find artist A. Osa here, bringing life to the tiny papier-mache fairies made of saa paper (mulberry) and colored fabric. She conceptualizes and creates each by hand, a process lasting more than 8 days per fairy.

Even if fairies aren’t your thing — but really, how can you resist these adorable creations? — you have to admire A.’s passion and dedication to her art.
