Bringing boxes to life
Jamila Mathis is a mixed-media artist currently based in Baltimore. 80’s pop-culture and Saturday morning cartoons are her primary influences which you’ll find woven throughout her colorful designs. Her work seeks to rediscover the joyful emotions of our inner child by creating fun designs with bright, bold color pairings.

Each canva BoxBust starts as a wood canvas from which the
personality will emerge. Acrylic paints and other household and
ordinary items are added to each piece thus giving it a richness of
character and depth.

Give more love and less f*ks
The middle finger, traditionally seen as rude or
aggressive, can be recontextualized as a tool for
personal agency and strength. It’s a way of saying
:no” to what doesn’t serve you—whether it’s societal
expectations, toxic relationships, or oppressive
systems. It’s a bold Declaration of Independence, a
refusal to confer, and a recognition of your right to
stand up for yourself.

what i do
I was born to use my
hands. A maker.
That is what I am.
Seeing your work in someone’s home,
enriching their environment, brings a
profound sense of fulfillment. Your art
becomes part of the daily life of others.
It’s an intimate way of sharing your
creativity as the objects you make serve
as both adornment and conversation
pieces, sparking stories, emotions, and
connections.
