Our Story

Welcome to Ornate Earth!

The road so far…

Our journey began in the fall of 2021 when Samantha, grappling with the profound loss of her Grandma Pat, sought solace through a new creative endeavor. What started as a personal refuge from grief became a beacon of hope and inspiration. In the years that followed, as Samantha faced the pain of losing her Uncle Mike and dear friend Junior, the path ahead seemed increasingly challenging. Yet, through these trials, she persevered, holding onto the vision that Ornate Earth could one day flourish.

In the spring of 2024, the story of Ornate Earth took a transformative turn. Ja Nae, moved by the project's potential and driven by a shared passion, joined forces with Samantha. After her wedding in June, Ja Nae became an integral part of Ornate Earth, bringing her creativity, support, and dedication to every aspect of the venture. Together, they breathed new life into the project, culminating in it’s debut show in July 2024.

At Ornate Earth, we are more than just a business; we are a testament to resilience, collaboration, and the power of turning personal challenges into meaningful creation. Our mission is to cultivate beauty and inspiration, honoring the memory of those we’ve lost while celebrating the new beginnings that arise from our shared journey.

Thank you for being part of our story.
