About the Artist

Artist and Designer - Preslie Such aims to discover the intersection between utility and art. Based in Lafayette, Louisiana, she holds a degree in Studio Art (B.A.)  and History (B.A.) from Louisiana State University (2023). It was here that she evolved her foundation for creating & producing work that starts from within. 

While studying, Preslie was drawn to the world of three-dimensional design and the act of shaping raw materials into something tangible - something with presence. Since graduating, this mantra has followed her & shifted into making present objects a form of self expression. Now, she likes to find the intersection of function, playfulness, and personalization. She arranges objects that are meant to be held, used, and loved. From hand-thrown mugs to thoughtfully crafted apparel, Preslie’s work is a reflection of her belief that the things we surround ourselves with should feel personal, international, and an extension of ourselves.  

Beyond her personal practice, Preslie is dedicated to fostering the arts and expanding her love for the act of creation. She is co-owners of Scrappie Studio, an art supply + community art studio in Lafayette, Louisiana. Here, she aims to continue to make art accessible for her community while giving other artists the chance to share and sell their work. Preslie also freelances in digital marking - helping brands and individuals grow their audience on social media & various online channels. 

Looking ahead, Preslie hopes to continue to not only create objects, but experiences. She hopes to continue to expand her creative practice alongside her art business. Preslie aims to build a community that values the work of artists, craftsmanship, and the intention of things made by hand. Because when something is created with intention, you don't just see it, but you feel it too.
