Fragrance: Our fragrant Dia de los Muertos is a rich, layered combination of juicy oranges and sweet pomegranates. Infused with ginger and nutmeg and a dash of spicy chile, it's a favorite candle all year.
Artisan Collaborator: Sean Wells
The beautiful artwork for this candle label was created by local artist Sean Wells. She is an award-winning 5th-generation Hispanic artist and a juried member of the Spanish Colonial Arts Society in the retablo category, creating traditional Saint images.
She is also well-known for her Day of the Dead-themed art that has appeared on nationally distributed beers and wines and New Mexico Lottery scratchers. Her Saints and her Sinners, as she calls them, all deal with suffering and healing.
The skeleton imagery has also become more symbolic in these times of division as a symbol. It is the foundation that we all share as humans. Sean aspires to educate on Hispanic culture through art and create space for compassion and understanding.
Sean received "Best Visual Artist" from Albuquerque the Magazine and the 2019 Hispanic Heritage Award in Arts & Culture. Sean also demonstrates, teaches, and presents to children and adults throughout New Mexico on themes related to her art imagery.
You can shop for her artwork in the Enchanted Sugar store or directly at Sean Wells Creates.
