Distinguished by lively festivals, sugar sand beaches, muddy rivers, roaring tailgates, parading krewes, stately oaks, broad magnolias and culinary masterpieces, the South is an area of unparalleled hospitality and charm. Z- Artista Designs brings the novelty and whims of local culture to life with one-of-a-kind, handmade pieces of art.

Oyster Art

Grit + Grace = MAGIC! Oysters grow through grit, sand and storms to dot the coast with pearls [and to produce decadent seafood.]  These “pops of color” celebrate the many ways that the ordinary can be extraordinary.

Rosaries

Southerners are known for their unwavering faith and resilience. Our hand painted blessing beads are sweet reminders of that strength. Customize these beauties to for personalized gifts for your loved ones.

Pelican Paintings

This original, quirky and whimsical watercolor series is a celebration of local life. Hand-painted on high quality watercolor paper, the collection personifies krewes of pelicans going ‘wild’ in their cultural habitats.
