My name is Siam Castillo, I am an Aspen Colorado local for 20 years now, born in San Francisco. I grew up in the suburbs of Danville Ca, moving back to the city as soon as I could, running from a very troubled home environment.

As a young woman I found myself overjoyed to be close to the cultural variety and art in the diverse city, but was quickly crushed under the pressure of pursuing my dreams of finding a stable career in performing arts, so I changed course after a nice juicy breakdown.

“You’re too sensitive”, I’ve heard that my entire life. But every shadow indicates a light shining from somewhere. I learned to use my sensitivity to tap in to creating beauty out of the chaos of so many random materials. I was also surprisingly unwilling to believe I couldn’t figure out how to learn to live a happy life, and this was my hidden strength, but I could never have done it alone.

Over the years, I was greatly blessed to receive support from numerous angels, both human and divine, who helped me prepare for the next battle after the latest beatdown.

Each day, I strive to strengthen my connection with energy and spirit. In my journey, I have crafted countless pieces of wearable art to express the deep joy and gratitude I now hold in my heart for overcoming seemingly insurmountable challenges.

SATORI means sudden enlightenment, that moment when we break through to a higher understanding

I've gathered valuable insights along the way, which I share through my “Glimpses of Clarity” messages, presented as acronyms branded on to my leather goods.

I create to spread the love and blessings I was so graciously given, and to amplify joy in others.

Through the process of creating beauty that mirrors the splendor of nature in Aspen, I found immense healing and eventually emerged from a deep darkness. In this way, my art also created me as I am now.

I wish you love, peace and connection.
