Artisan Crafted Creator, J’Atelier9/J’A9 (@jatelier9) emerged after its Los Angeles based visionary founder, Janine Tang, began her movement towards a circular environment philosophy by sourcing recycled repurposed salvaged materials into her sustainable fine arts. J’A9 reshapes the transcendent beauty of innovative repurposing & upcycling.. allowing her art to become the unconventional vessel. She juxtaposes the dichotomy of consumerism against responsible adaptive reuses of materials and upcycling.
