My name is JOLANTA ANDRAKA MILLIGAN (Jolaa), and I run my own art and graphic design company, Jolaa Studio Art Creations, in Florida, USA. I am a middle-aged woman who has always been mesmerized by the beauty of colors, textures, and natural materials such as gemstones, amber, leather, burlap, acrylic and oil paints, glass, natural fabrics, and lace. My goal is to create something meaningful from almost nothing. Every moment spent creating my art brings me joy, satisfaction, and serenity. There is no greater reward than seeing someone smile, admire, and connect with my work. I truly believe that all my projects hold an incredible healing power, transporting you into a very special world — Jolanta’s art world. Enjoy my handcrafted treasures and unique projects presented here on this website. At the same time, I remain humble and deeply respect the great artists who inspire me. I consider myself a simple person, gifted with the ability to see and feel beauty all around me. Nature’s magnificence leaves me speechless, and instead of words, I choose to express my emotions through all my senses, translating them into artistic creations. For me, art has often been a safe haven, providing comfort in difficult times. In those moments, I create from the depths of my soul, expressing who I truly am and what I deeply feel. I am in a never-ending process of discovering my own unique style—one that allows me to whisper, cry, and sometimes even scream my emotions into my work. I love working with paints and canvas, gemstones, silver, clay, shells, stained glass, sea glass, wood, driftwood, resin, leather, and fabrics. I enjoy playing with different techniques, styles, and trends—dancing with colors, light, textures, forms, and shapes. My tools include lenses, digital design equipment, pencils, crayons, chalk, brushes, silk, ink, dyes, wax, and a variety of paints and varnishes. Currently, I am exploring the art of creating organic, vegan spa products such as homemade soaps and bath bombs. My passion for creativity extends beyond traditional art; it embraces the beauty of handmade, natural self-care. With diplomas in Professional Photography, Graphic Design, Jewelry Design, Digital Marketing & SEO, and Social Media Marketing, along with years of experience in advertising, publishing, and printing, I also work with advanced techniques such as digital photography, digital painting, desktop publishing, and laser engraving. Yet, I find equal joy in working with brushes, easels, painting knives, pliers, drills, welders, and saws. Sometimes, I feel like I have a dual artistic personality—one day, I am a creative artist, and the next, I am a hands-on craftswoman. This is why I personally oversee every project, from design to completion. My creations are not just different; they are a fusion of graphic design, digital and classic sketching, drawing, and painting. I merge modern digital techniques with traditional fine art methods, blending the old with the new into something truly one-of-a-kind. Being content with my artistic journey, I embrace every moment and the endless inspiration life offers. A mysterious impulse drives me to see, feel, and dream deeply, translating those emotions into my work. The creative process grants me freedom, serenity, confidence, and energy—a magical force that enriches my life. It allows me to turn my dreams into reality, and I love every second of it. Above all, I cherish the people around me—my family, my friends, and those who support my artistic journey. Their love and encouragement fuel my creativity and passion. Love has guided me to elevate my life to a higher spiritual level and has opened the door to art. But before anything else, I am simply a happy woman—a mother, grandmother, wife to a very special man, and a good friend. Then, I am an artist. I am confident that creativity and imagination will be my lifelong companions. This is me—a limited edition. My husband often tells me, “You are so different and so exotic. There is no one like you, and there will never be anyone like you.” Awww… it’s nice to hear that. Welcome to my art and design world! I am in it with all my heart, and I have already lost myself in it. Now, it’s your turn! I promise—you won’t regret it. You can also find me on social media.
