Meet Your Instructor: Anjuli Boston
I am a mixed-media artist from Venezuela, born into a German family. For over 20 years, I have been creating across scales and disciplines—from jewelry, textile works, to hangable art pieces. In an age of consumerism and excessive waste, my practice feels like a quiet rebellion: repurposing what many consider rubbish into something meaningful.
My work is guided by the Japanese philosophy of mottainai—a deep respect for resources and a resistance to needless waste. I seek the meeting point of creativity and purpose, where materials carry both history and potential. More than unique objects, each piece becomes a mission to spark awareness around overconsumption and inspire mindful change. Every creation is one of a kind, holding its own story while celebrating individuality and possibility. Here, nothing is wasted. Everything is reimagined.
