Once a Senior 3D Animator in the video game industry, Tulia's main passion lies in telling LGBTQ+ stories through visual art and writing. They're also a witch who's possessed a fascination with what lies on the other side of the veil and what society considers “monsters.”

The creation of CHAPISTRO came from the conviction that their two most beloved worlds, art and magic, could be brought together. It also came from a desire to create what they would have loved to see as a kid growing up: queer, neurodivergent characters of any ethnicity. Diversity , in any shape or form.

Through CHAPISTRO, Tulia hopes to inspire people to find the inspiration, healing, and transformation they're looking for while curating an ecosystem where these experiences come full circle, as the community carries what they've found back into their own inner circles, allowing that inspiration and healing to ripple outward.

Vanessa

Green witch, astrologer, medium

Vanessa is a multidisciplinary artist who fell in love with divination work in her childhood years. Her current practice combines astrology, mediumship, channeled messages, cartomancy, tarot, Human Design, and dream decoding.

She considers herself a green and practical witch whose advice and counsel center on the use of our vessel, nature, and pantry staples to aid in the pursuit of personal growth, self-understanding, and spiritual alignment. Vanessa believes that our connection to the spiritual world can be nurtured through both introspection and the simple, tangible practices we incorporate into our everyday lives.
