About Chulynda

My life has been a study in beautiful contrasts, from the precise order of military service to the organic flow of watercolor on paper. After years serving in the Navy, life pushed me into a season of profound change. What began as uncertainty became an unexpected invitation: to rediscover who I was beyond the uniform, beyond the roles that had defined me.

I picked up a brush in that liminal space, not just to paint, but to heal, to explore, to find freedom where rigid structure once ruled. Each brushstroke became a quiet act of resilience, a deliberate step toward reinventing myself through the language of color and form.

Today, that initial spark has blossomed into a surface design studio rooted in a simple but powerful belief: art is more than decoration, it's transformation. Every botanical flourish I create, each coastal-inspired motif, and intricate pattern carries within it the story of choosing beauty after brokenness, of discovering color after endless gray.

When my work finds its way into your hands, your home, or your products, my hope remains beautifully simple: that it reminds you that reinvention is always possible, and that extraordinary beauty can flourish anywhere you choose to nurture it.
