Meet the Artist and Founder
ANDREA ALVAREZ RENO
ahn-DREH-ah
Thank you for being here. I'm Andrea.
Originally from Honduras, I moved to the United States ten years ago and have since called several cities home, including Chicago, Boston, and now Las Vegas.
I was the child with exceptional handwriting who loved to bake pies with her aunt and throughout my professional life I have pursued two artistic paths simultaneously: calligraphy and cake artistry. During the day, I owned and operated cake studios, while at night I worked to build my calligraphy business. Although my several moves marked the end of those sweet chapters, the years spent designing and creating bespoke cakes continue to influence my artistic approach today.
Clients and collectors often describe my work- whether on paper or in sugar- as exceptionally detailed, refined, and thoughtfully executed. Those qualities reflect my belief that beauty matters and is found in the smallest details.
Life in the kitchen has definitely shaped me in many ways. It taught me to perform under pressure, appreciate the significance of mile stone celebrations and embrace responsibility, team work and commitment to always show up no matter what.
I'm also married to a chef and pastry chef and that has made my life revolve around food and art even more. A pretty good life I'd say!
My favorite thing in the world is visiting art museums for inspiration and hanging out with my hubby and my pup.
Creating unforgettable live experiences, meaningful wedding stationery and heirloom-quality artwork brings me immense joy and pride.
I look forward to working with you and creating something truly special.
The Story Behind The Logo
I feel I have a responsibility and mission to my mother country, Honduras, its culture and people ,who made me who I am today. I do this by producing quality work in one of the most competitive markets and by being exemplary as a citizen and as a professional.
I knew I wanted to incorporate a Honduran symbol to my logo and amongst all the Macaw is the most beautiful. The Scarlet Macaw is our national bird. They are magnificent, regal, affectionate and peaceful.
The image above is the original un-digitized monogram and miniature watercolor that makes my logo which I designed.
