MULTI PASSIONATE ARTIST

Genesis – A Multi-Passionate Artist and Founder of Bliss Chains

Artists as Culture Change-Makers

I believe artists are the antennas of the world, channeling wisdom, grounding planetary invocation, and coalescing these energies into matter. Art has always been the vessel—whether through sound, etchings unearthed in ancient sites, or vibrant paintings that transcend cultures. In modern times, it is the cinematic and visual storytelling that moves, educates, and transforms humanity. Artists are the conglomeration of stars in human form, shining brightly as the universe expresses itself through them—complex, grand, timeless, and wholly magnificent.

From a young age, I felt the pull of creation. Growing up in a developing country, I learned that true prosperity is not measured by material wealth, but by the infinite imagination that allows one to manifest art in all its forms. My world was shaped by diverse cultural influences, sparking an insatiable curiosity to question, explore, and create. Art became my sanctuary—a space to discover, reflect, and transform.

Yet, like nature’s rhythm of ebb and flow, the path of an artist demands solitude, introspection, resilience, and the grace to embrace patience and forgiveness. Through it all, my imagination has remained boundless, soaring beyond limitations to bring beauty, healing, and purpose to others.

A Journey Rooted in Creativity & Healing

Genesis began her artistic career as a Celebrity Makeup Artist and Creative Director, crafting beauty narratives that graced Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, and Vogue Italia. Her passion for storytelling soon led her behind the lens, producing captivating fashion editorials published in MITH, HUF, Schon, Coco Eco, Alpha and Omega, and more.

Her love for artistic expression expanded into literature and mixed media, culminating in her poetry and watercolor collection, Bliss Tales, which won the International Impact Book Awards.

Yet, it was through Bliss Chains that Genesis found her deepest calling—using art as a vessel for healing and renewal.

Bliss Chains – The Intersection of Creativity and Purpose

“Every portrait taken is a brushstroke in the mission of Bliss Chains—a sanctuary for the heart, a balm for grieving souls, and a tribute to love that endures.”

Bliss Chains was born from a choice to continue the work of healing and rejuvenation through art. As a Certified Art Therapy Practitioner and Life Coach, Genesis founded Bliss Chains to offer workshops, classes, and heirloom portraits that support individuals and families in their journeys of grief and transformation.

Through her role as a Specialty Instructor with Bend Park and Recreation District, Genesis fosters intergenerational enrichment, guiding both youth and seniors in creative exploration. She also collaborates with Truffle Pig, an eco-conscious consignment boutique, advocating for sustainable fashion and mindful living.

Her latest work, Bliss Chains Heirloom Portraits, is an offering that blends fine-art photography with legacy storytelling—an expression of joy, remembrance, and sacred co-creation. Each portrait serves as a timeless vessel of love and presence, supporting the greater mission of Bliss Chains while honoring those who seek to preserve their essence for generations to come.

As a multi-disciplinary artist, Genesis finds deep fulfillment in photography, creative writing, singing, and mixed media art. Inspired by kindred souls and her profound connection to nature, she continues to create art that fosters healing, reflection, and renewal—a testament to the power of artistry as a force of transformation.
