Maker Spotlight – Get To Know The Face Behind The Brand.
Meet Jocelyne from Jocy Coreas Art. Jocelyne lives in Los Angeles, CA and has been creating for about three years now. She went all in with her business a year ago. She is a lover of vintage fashion, music and art. Her favorite eras are the 20’s, 50’s – 90’s. She takes inspiration from all those eras. Sometimes just a song can inspire a piece of art in her mind and she starts to manifest it into the 3D world. Other times nature is her muse (she likes to spend quality time with the wind and the trees when she gets the chance). Aside from jewelry making, Jocelyne likes to paint, draw, design & play dress up (fashion is another one of her passions (she wanted to be a fashion designer when she was little…and still kind of does!). When she is in creator mode she MUST have music playing while she’s making! Music always helps her focus. She listens to a wide variety of genres but the main ones she goes back to are the 80’s new wave & hair metal (a.k.a dad rock), classical music (for those days she REALLY needs to concentrate) & Latin music (for her dance breaks!).
Jocy Coreas Art specializes in a wide variety of styles of earrings. You will find dainty to statement pieces, colorful and neutral pieces, necklaces, stickers, pins, keychains and even hair accessories. Jocelyne gladly accepts custom orders and her Etsy store is located in her IG bio.
Here are some words from Jocelyne:
-What made you want to start creating?-
“I guess I always knew I wanted to make pretty things (in many different forms) and I’ve always wanted to be my own boss (I don’t like being told what to do) FREEDOM is EVERYTHING to me, freedom and art.”
-Would you like to share any family info? Pets?-
“Well I was raised by my single mom (who came to the US from El Salvador in the 80s) and she’s done so much to support me and my art (she’s like my Personal sales woman 😂) she’s the reason why I’m trying hard to make it so I can try to pay her back for EVERYTHING my mom’s done for me thus far! ❤️ You could say she’s the fuel that keeps me going and what keeps me grounded.”
-What is your MOST FAVORITE item you have created?-
“Oh nooo! This is super hard!! I can’t pick favorites! But the ones that have a special place in my heart are the “Lydias” (that’s my mom’s name & they were the first pieces I made) and the “Jen”.”
-What makes your shop unique? What is your specialty?-
“Well I guess what makes my shop unique is that I create things according to my mood, pretty much everything I do from putting together outfits, makeup looks and even my choice in music is all mood dependent. I like to think of my creative process as creating a character, I find out what they like, why they like it and what & how they would wear the piece(s). I’m a big believer that no one should be put into a “style box”, people should wear what they want and whatever makes them feel amazing! That’s why I don’t have “A” style, I have the WHOLE DAMN ALPHABET in my closet!”
-What is the story behind your business name?-
“Couldn’t find a name to describe my work because I’m a multimedia artist so I just used my name and added art to the end! Pretty straight forward (might be changing it, tbd).”
