MYSTICMIJA, the ceramic art of Jynell Dimalanta, features handmade ceramic wares crafted in Ventura, California
Jynell's work often captures the interplay of fire and air within the kiln, resulting in unique surfaces on each piece. She enjoys exploring the creative problem-solving involved in mixing mediums and often incorporates drawing, painting, and text into her ceramic work. 
Jynell is a strong advocate for the power of art to heal, unite, and enlighten us. She actively engages with the local art scene by participating in and curating exhibitions, teaching workshops, classes, and coordinating community art events and cultural tours in Mexico.

SunriseViaLola, by artist Cat Craig, Ojai, California, offers fine art prints and originals that embody a journey of healing, growth, and self-discovery. The name, meaning "sunrise through darkness," reflects Cat's artistic philosophy: embracing challenges and transforming them into positivity.
Cat's artistic journey began early, providing solace and a voice during challenging times. She discovered strength and confidence through art, drawing inspiration from nature's vibrant colors and cherished memories of specific places. Her work, using diverse mediums, is also inspired by her outdoor adventures, from national parks to her Ojai backyard. Additionally, her mother's creative spirit, her grandfather's woodworking skills, and her husband Shea's appreciation for beauty all contribute to her artistic vision. Cat also finds inspiration in her own femininity and her connection to Mother Nature.

​About the Venue:

Fiddle & Fern, located in Downtown Ventura, California, is a plant and home decor shop born out of Patricia's lifelong passion for plants. Her mother instilled in her a love and understanding of plant care from a young age. In early 2020, facing new challenges, Patricia took her knowledge and passion and opened Fiddle & Fern in her garden home to start. Soon after she joined Plum Gifts in a permanent space downtown.  
The shop quickly flourished, becoming a welcoming space for plant enthusiasts of all experience levels. Fiddle & Fern prides itself on offering a carefully curated selection of plants, from everyday favorites to rare and unique finds, along with beautiful and complementary home decor items. 
The shop is described as having a warm, welcoming, calming, and even magical atmosphere. It provides a space where people can relax, enjoy the beauty of the plants, and find inspiration for their homes.
In addition to live plants, you'll discover a variety of pots, baskets, macramé hangers, and decorative pieces chosen for their quality and aesthetic appeal.
More than just a retail space, Fiddle & Fern is a sanctuary where customers can find expert guidance and support on their plant journey. Whether you're a novice or an experienced plant parent, Patricia and her crew provide personalized advice on everything from watering and lighting to choosing the perfect plant to complement your style and living space. They are dedicated to helping customers succeed and find joy in their plant parenting endeavors.
Patricia also believes in giving back to the community, supporting local artists, non-profits, lgbtq affirmaing, woman and minority-owned businesses by showcasing their creations in her shop. 
Unpotted Rare Plants & Kokedamas: Unpotted Plants & Co joined the shop last year, bringing an extra level of plant art to the "secret garden space" with their artistic living plant arrangements, including kokedama moss balls, wall-mount displays, and other un-potted creations.
Fiddle & Fern truly embodies the spirit of a community-focused business, offering a unique blend of quality products, expert advice, and a welcoming atmosphere that reflects Patricia's love and passion for the plant world and humanity.
