- Angel Saint Martin is a multidisciplinary artist whose work fuses fashion design, textile science, and visual arts. Her practice centers on wearable art, where surface design and self-symbolism merge into sculptural garments that embody anthropomorphic relationships between fantasy and fashion. Employing painting, sewing, basketry, embroidery, millinery, and sculptural construction, she creates layered forms that echo zoomorphic shapes, textures, and patterns evoking biodiversity while celebrating endangered flora and fauna, and illuminating the interdependence of humans and nature.

She later completed a Master of Humanities in Visual Art and Media at Tiffin University. She is currently pursuing a Doctorate in Global Leadership and Change to expand her creative practice into arts administration and international opportunities. With a previous career in academia, she has taught collegiate courses in fashion design, coordinated academic programs, and produced fashion runway shows before establishing her own brand.

- Angel Saint Martin is a luxury art-fashion house creating one-of-a-kind, museum-grade wearable sculptures that merge textile artistry, cultural heritage, and environmental storytelling. Each piece is a hand-crafted fusion of sculptural form, painted surface design, intricate embellishment, and clothing composition. These ensembles manifest a confluence that transforms the wearer into an immersive, narrative story of artifacts and apparel.
- Inspired by folkloric textile traditions, ceremonial costumes and festivals Angel Saint Martin sews and sculpts abstract avant-garde designs and surreal motifs presented as contemporary works of fashion and fiber art. Utilizing eco-materials to aid in conservation of biodiversity, her creations exist at the intersection of haute couture, sustainability and fine art, designed for the collector who seeks exclusivity, craftsmanship, and environmental meaning. Her designs are rooted in rigorous research of costume history and the humanities, exploring how textile techniques and materials have carried healing, symbolic, and alchemic purposes across generations. This investigation extends beyond aesthetic form to honor the spiritual, cultural, and ecological significance of the cloth.
- Her clientele includes luxury fashion connoisseurs, museum curators, and cultural institutions who acquire pieces for runway presentations, permanent collections, and high-profile exhibitions. With meticulous attention to detail and sustainable, heirloom-quality construction, every Angel Saint Martin work is a rare investment in artistry as an enduring symbol of individuality, cultural preservation, and visionary design. Angel Saint Martin’s designs carry the imprint of multicultural dimensions, and multispecies biologic of nature, offering collectors and institutions not only rare works of couture but also narrative artifacts that bridge tradition and innovation.
