OjaiStyle brings the creations of several highly talented Ojai, California, artists to online shoppers. Each artist is featured with a short biographical piece and a 60-90 second video, creating a strong sense of connection to them and their work. Seeing the written words, watching the artists work, and hearing their voices brings you right into their studios, as though sitting across from them in conversation. This is an effective and very well done website.
OjaiStyle categorizes its works into fine art, jewelry, glass, pottery, and gifts. There is some overlap between categories, but there is also an impressive amount of work unique to each. And most of it is artistically and esthetically remarkable.
The fine art category has paintings, photography, ceramic art, decorated eggs, encaustic, mixed media, batik, Giclee prints, and more. The selection of jewelry ranges from whimsically casual to formal, but all of it is elegant. The glass category includes hand cut stained glass boxes and mobiles with distinctive personality, and some hand blown vases that can hold their own well without the distraction of flowers. The pottery category is a diverse and engaging mix of vessels, modeling techniques, and glazes. There is a lot of work at this site for so few artists (15). They are one busy group.
Jewelry prices range from $38.00 - $370, with many beautiful pieces under $75.00. There are good bargains in the other categories as well.
