Artdillo Wearable Art was born in the middle of the Pandemic, when I felt an intense need to create and share my art with the world. It is inspired by my 2020 cross country move to the Southwest, by the aesthetics of the desert, and mostly by the idea that we all deserve to express ourselves unapologetically.

Owner and Artist Carli Cardillo is a mixed media artist from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania who now lives in Phoenix Arizona. She has been creating ever since she was young, but has formal degrees in Art History, Art Therapy, and Museum Studies.

“Art is apparent in all aspects of my life I have used many mediums to express myself including painting, jewelry, clothing, and recycled and reusable materials. After moving to the southwest I was inspired by the landscapes, the life, and aesthetics, and wanted that to show in my work, especially in wearable pieces. We are walking canvases and our clothing and accessories are our art”
