Hi, y’all! It’s Lianna again (Villa Atelier | Lianna), the Changarrito Resident Artist for the month of June! I wanted to share a never-before-seen tour of my home studio/atelier 🐞⭐️

I love seeing other artists’ spaces, so here’s a peek into mine! It’s my most favorite part of my home, and my sacred space. I’m so grateful to have a designated space to create, surrounded by my plantas that I marvel at all day. I love getting up every morning, walking into this room, turning on the plant lights, and sitting at my desk🫀and there’s Teddy, my 12 y/o dog and self-appointed studio manager. I hope y’all enjoyed these corners of my atelier 🫶🏼🌱

Thank you to everyone who checked out my work at the Mexic-Arte Museum this past weekend! I loved all the conversations I got to have with y’all and am excited to see y’all again this weekend, June 20-21!:)

Join Mexic-Arte Museum for a two part Family Day!
Explore Austin's waterways, cultural history, and ecological imagination through walking tours and a clay sculpture workshop with artists Allison Lash and Chance Ramirez!

🗓️ Sunday, June 28
🕚 11am - 4:30pm
📍 Mexic-Arte Museum - 419 Congress Ave Austin, TX 78701

🔗Free RSVP: https://ClaySculptingFamilyDayJune2026.eventbrite.com

This workshop will take participants from the Museum's galleries, along the 5th St Mexican American Cultural District, to the banks of Lady Bird Lake, then into sculpting with clay at the Museum, weaving together Austin's ecological landscape, Mexican American and Indigenous history, and the transformative world-building of contemporary artist Saya Woolfalk.

Part 1: Reading The River
Participants will meet outside Mexic-Arte Museum at 11am to walk to Republic Square, where they will study the Blackbird sculpture (a monumental grackle sculpture by Kincannon Studios honoring the Mexican American community displaced from the neighborhood in the 1920s), and then continue to Lady Bird Lake to observe the watershed, sketch the landscape, and collect natural texture tools.

Part 2: Sculpting The Zanate
Participants will return to the museum to build their own terracotta clay hybrid guardians from their field observations: chimeric figures that are part human, part zanate (Great-tailed Grackle), part myth, and part future, imagined as permanent inhabitants of the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) future tunnel.

This workshop is part of a larger public art project by artist Saya Woolfalk, commissioned by the Austin Arts, Culture, Music and Entertainment Art in Public Places program for Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.

"Hola Mexic-Arte familia! I’m Lianna Villarreal, the jewelry artist behind Villa Atelier and the Changarrito Artist in Residency for the month of June! 🫀
As part of the residency, I’ll be sharing glimpses of pieces in progress, some of my favorite pieces, and a tour of my studio!
I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in December 2024 with a Bachelor of Science and Arts in Biology. Now, I’m pursuing formal jewelry training at to deepen my artistic practice with an Associate of Applied Science in Jewelry. Then, it's time to head to medical school! I’m currently in the middle of applications, and jewelry has been such a grounding outlet through it all. I’m passionate about pursuing a career in medicine that serves the most at-risk members of our communities, including people navigating substance use disorders and those who are unhoused.
The perceived dichotomy of art and science has always intrigued me. By transforming scientific concepts into wearable art, I aim to reveal how artificial this division is. I believe that medicine is a realm where science and art intertwine. The art of jewelry making and the practice of medicine are both acts of creation, and the parallels between the two emphasize the artistry and humanity inherent in both practices.
I’m SO excited to share my creations with y’all! Thank y’all for being here and seeing how I bring jewelry to life at the intersection of art and science 🧬 "

"Hello!
My name is Marcela and I am so happy to be the Changarito artist of the month!

I was born in the south of Brazil in a city called Porto Alegre, close to the border with Argentina. I grew up in an artsy environment - my mom is an art teacher and sculptor - and in my family any creative activity was encouraged, including reading, drawing and even painting on the walls. Creating things with my hands was always a necessity.

I come from a background in product design, where function and problem-solving shaped the way I think visually. Over time, my focus has shifted to creating art as a space for emotion, intuition, and personal narrative.

My current work explores abstract ideas that follow my curiosity. I enjoy experimenting with materials like wool, cotton and paper. Moving from product design to art has given me a different kind of freedom—one that prioritizes expression over utility.

My bright little studio in East Austin has become such a special place for me — full of color, texture, art, and inspiration ✨ I’d truly love for more people to come visit, see the work in person, and experience the space with me. My door is always open 🤍 "
