The Playful Art Of Mayi Carles

One of our readers turned us on to Mayi Carles, a Panamanian visual artist, painter, designer and art teacher, telling us that she has really cute handmade and eco-friendly headbands for sale in her Etsy shop. We were instantly seduced by the naive, merry character of her young oeuvre. Her most popular series, titled Traces: a poetic interpretation of the Latin American body, has almost sold out - but she's still got some fine pieces available in her online gallery that will look great in a tween's bedroom.
