Welcome!  I'm Christina, the maker and creator of Z-Artista Designs. I live in south Louisiana with my sweet husband and two toddlers.

“Joie de vie” is a phrase in Cajun French that is translated to “joy of life.” I enjoy celebrating the sweet nuances of local life through art .... the food, the people, the music, the festivals, the tailgates, the wetlands and the southern hospitality.

I love making thoughtful keepsakes for you to enjoy (and gift). Some of my favorites are handcrafted rosaries, bright oyster art pieces, & fun, locally-inspired watercolor paintings. All are sure to bring joy and whimsy from my heart to your home!
