Learn more about Oris and BLE in our exclusive Q&A with her (and then check out her Evites for your next celebration)!
What inspired you to become an artist?
As far as I know, I have always had my hands on something crafty. While I was in middle school, art class was one thing I was excited about. Whether it was drawing or paper mache, tie-dye, or mixed media sessions, art made me escape from reality. One art project I recall was the use of matchsticks to create a house. I also used fabric scraps to make portraits and abstracts. I have volunteered in art galleries, and summer art workshops where I worked with kids many years ago. So, what inspired me to become an artist? I would say it is the joy of creating, the feeling of inner freedom, utmost self-expression and adding color to everyday life.
Which three words describe your design aesthetic?
Striking, Spontaneous, Vibrant
What inspires your work?
I draw inspiration from the beauty of nature, personal experiences, mindful living and my travels.
When you have a creative block, what pulls you out of it?
Going beyond my comfort zone. I give myself creative prompts or study a subject like florals or fruits. I also enjoy taking long walks, hiking and discovering new places. Other times, it could be spending time in art libraries or museums.
What is your proudest moment as an artist?
One of my proudest moments as an artist was having an end cap at Target. To be showcased amongst exceptional artists was humbling.
What's the most memorable party you've ever been to?
Fun fact: I used to be a wedding planner. I would say the events I planned have always been memorable!
What advice would you give to an aspiring creator?
My motto is REPEAT. Literally.
Research - What’s your why? Find other artists and creators that inspire you.
Experiment - Try different art styles, explore tools and mediums.
Practice - Always be a learner.
Evolve - Don’t be afraid to pivot when you need to. Change is normal.
Accept - Embrace your authenticity. That’s what makes you, YOU.
Tenacity - Be tenacious. It’s okay to be afraid. But, keep doing it scared.
Is there a mantra that you follow when you work?
Oh yes. I’m big on affirmative words. I have a board with positive notes that read “one day at a time,” “you got this,” and “you can do anything you set your mind to.”
You're a self-taught artist with a background in STEM. What learnings from your time in STEM have you applied to your work now as an artist?
At their core, art and science are both about observation and interpretation. Truth is, science has been influencing art from as early as man learned to draw. One has never been very far from the other. I’m an ever-curious learner and my STEM background has helped me interpret, study and explore the world around me. Spending time studying art subjects and their dependency on nature and anatomy is as important as illustrating and painting them.
How have the various countries you've lived in and traveled to shaped your creative vision?
Travel influences my creative life. It has opened me up to more possibilities and deeper creative thinking. Immersing myself in a new environment helps to strengthen the neurons that like to embrace new ideas and make creative juices flow.
Your brand, Breathe Live Explore (BLE), is still fairly new but already has tons of fans thanks to numerous brand collaborations. What prompted you to create BLE?
That’s humbling. Truth is, it was all happenstance. I started making art because I enjoyed it and kept sharing it on social media. It got attention, and people asked for prints and products, so I opened an Etsy shop.
What has been the most rewarding part of creating your own brand?
The most rewarding part of BLE is when others experience my work. It's such a thrill to see products in people’s homes and spaces.
How has balancing a business with your creativity changed your approach to art?
It’s been quite interesting balancing both. Setting time for business is as important as making the art. I am also learning to delegate some tasks to make more time for creativity.
Your work is filled with florals of all sorts. What is it about flowers that draws you in, and when it comes to the real ones, do you have any favorites?
“Flowers whisper beauty to the world.’’
“Where flowers bloom, so does hope.”
Painting florals doesn’t only make me feel blissful, it also adds color and hope to our everyday. Sure, I love to get myself flowers, and my favorites are peonies, dahlia or tulips. I can never go wrong with them!

What is a SignUp Sheet?
Signup sheets are the perfect way to streamline scheduling, volunteer recruitment, class parties, snack duty, potluck organization, parent-teacher conferences and more! You can think of them as your digital assistant for coordinating events and tasks and ensuring that your event is a success.
Evite SignUp Sheets offers parents, teachers and event planners customizable online forms that organizers and volunteers can access and update effortlessly. Volunteers can choose their preferred time slots, sign up for tasks or indicate what they'll bring to the event. It only takes organizers a few minutes to create a signup sheet and send it out with a shareable link, so they can get the word out via text, email or social media—whichever way they prefer!
Long story short, SignUp Sheets save everyone involved tons of time, avoid scheduling headaches and ensure everything runs smoothly before and during the event.
How do I create a SignUp Sheet?
Creating a signup sheet has never been easier than with Evite! Here’s how to create a sheet that’s sure to make your event an absolute success:
- Go to Evite SignUp Sheets and choose the template that best fits your needs. Evite offers multiple signup sheet templates perfect for every occasion, including:
- Signup sheets for one day events (without different time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing a class party, potluck or end-of-season party.
- Signup sheets for single or multiple day events (with time slots), perfect for when you’re organizing concession stand volunteers, fundraisers, parent-teacher conferences, meal train, post-game snack duty or during appreciation week.
- After selecting your sheet template, create a title for your signup sheet and add the date, the location, the time (if applicable), who the organizer is, the organizer’s phone number or email and an optional note describing the event to your volunteers. You can also change your signup sheet background and title image if you wish!
- Next, create slots for your signup sheet. If you aren’t logged into your account, you will need to do so at this point, but luckily, you can use your existing Evite account (no need to create yet another login!). What you’ll include here will depend on what your event needs, but you can include a list of what’s needed (along with optional descriptions), how many volunteers are needed, and dates and times.
- After creating your slots, you can then add a wish list from any retailer or include supply suggestions from Evite’s retailer partners. These are to help your volunteers find and purchase supplies quickly and easily.
- Finally, review your sheet, copy your shareable link and send it out to everyone on your list! Every time a volunteer signs up for a slot on your signup sheet, Evite will email you. We will also send reminders to you and your volunteers before your event so no one will forget about it, and we’ll even let volunteers know if you remove their slot or cancel your event sheet so you don’t have to!
What information should be included on a SignUp Sheet?
When it comes to signup sheet information, there are some essentials to include regardless of what you’re organizing:
- A title for your signup sheet. Tip: Aim to keep your signup sheet title concise but clear. You want volunteers to read it and have a general understanding of what your event is about, and also make it easy for them to look for later if they need to reference your sheet again. You have the option to include a more descriptive note in a different field about your event, so save the more in-depth details for that!
- When and where the event is taking place.
- The organizer’s name and phone number.
- Slots for volunteers to choose from. Once you choose the SignUp Sheets template that fits the occasion, the slots you’ll need for your sheet will be right there and ready for you to add the relevant info, such as dates, times, items to bring and tasks to complete.
When adding your slot information, clearly define what people are signing up for, especially for a what-to-bring list or role assignments. If you want someone to bring healthy snacks for kids to enjoy after a game, specify that. You want your volunteers to feel confident in what they’re bringing and to make it easy for them to know what’s expected of them. It will save them time and stress (and you, too!). That being said, if you make your ask too specific (for example, asking for a hard-to-source item or something expensive), you may not end up with a volunteer for it. So be clear about what you expect, but also be reasonable!
Aside from providing the basic signup information, you can also add optional descriptions to both your entire signup sheet and individual slots. While not required, they can help guide your volunteers further and provide more information. You can add information about allergies, preferences and general info about the event. You can also add a wish list to make it easier for your volunteers to bring exactly what you need!
What are the benefits of using a SignUp Sheet template?
Signup sheet templates offer a ton of advantages for both organizers and volunteers and with Evite SignUp Sheets, you'll enjoy even more benefits than other digital and paper signup sheets! Some benefits our signup sheet templates offer include:
- A 100% free experience (no subscriptions required!).
- Shareable links for quick and easy sharing.
