Hi, I'm Vanessa! I'm a mixed media artist from Gardena, California. I have been creating and sharing my makeup looks, collages, artwork and activism online for over 20 years centered on being a queer, chronically ill Chicana femme living with stage 4 Endometriosis.

Hello friends! 💖

First of all, THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for over 1K subscribers! 😭🥹🥰 I had only decided to start posting my art more consistently starting in 2024 and throuthout most of 2025, so, reaching 1,000 subscribers before the end of the year is a goal I'm grateful to have met because of your support! 🥰

Second of all, I HAD NO IDEA MY COMMENTS WERE TURNED OFF ON SOME RECENT SHORTS. 😳🫣 Sorry about any potential confusion! I'm not sure why some Shorts that I have uploaded recently are set to "comments off" without realizing it. Anyway, below are pictures of some recent videos and Shorts I've posted recently (some being from videos that had comments turned off 🤦‍♀️). I will be posting one video and at least one related/random Short every day until the end of the year. I need to make space for more storage in my phone lol AND I just want to feel close to people I love and care about but am unable to be with physically during the holidays - which are some of the absolute loneliest days of the year for many.

All of this to say that I appreciate your time, attention, energy and kind comments, likes and shares. It feels like the greatest blessing to be able to connect with anyone who resonates with my art (a representation of my heart and soul's purpose 💖)

Hello loves! ❤️ Should I post longer videos of my scratch paper art (at 1x speed) on my channel? It is so much more relaxing to listen to - HOWEVER- a lot of background noise consists of The Great British Baking Show lol. Let me know what you'd like to see or hear more of! I appreciate your feedback 😊

Thank you so much for being here and for every single way y'all show your support and love. I'm grateful for your time and presence! We are so close to being at 1K subscribers!! Follow me on my ✨️ mixed media art ✨️ Instagram at @ dvnperspective
Take care of yourselves babes. The world needs you, your art, and your creativity. I love and appreciate you 💓

Time flies! I'm so glad I started sharing YouTube Shorts more regularly at the end of 2024 after learning how to edit videos, add music and upload videos in YouTube Studio. Whether you're a new subscriber or you've been here for years, THANK YOU so much for your support and kindness! I'm grateful for you. My goal is to get to 1K subscribers by the end of February. Can you help me reach that milestone? I'll keep uploading Shorts daily for the foreseeable future. Please like, comment, share and subscribe if you want to see more videos from me! Comment a 💖 if this post shows up in your feed ✨

Spoiler for my next Short 💖🌈 (not sure why it feels like I'm announcing a major motion picture lol). Do you even really need a reason to wear a rainbow butterfly brooch? Would YOU wear this? 🤔

If you want to see how I made the STUNNING rainbow holographic glitter-coated wooden ornament from my Short, you can watch the process here! 💖 Check the description of the video for much more details on the two main products I use that work perfectly for my crafts (plus the reason WHY I DON'T USE EPOXY/ RESIN). Leave me a comment on this post telling me what your favorite ornament from this collage is. Thank you for watching, I appreciate you!! 💖✨🎄
