Mabelin Castellanos is a textile artist based in Miami whose quilted paintings forgo traditional paint in favor of fabric and thread, creating textured narratives. After a career spanning thirty years in science she turned to art in 2015 when neurological issues prompted her to seek healing through expression. Self-taught, she crafts quilted vignettes that portray imagined scenes and everyday moments, drawing inspiration from fabric colors and patterns to spark reflection and emotional resonance. Her quilts have earned regional awards and been exhibited in galleries nationwide, establishing her voice in the art community. She is currently developing a new series exploring healing and storytelling through textile art. Collectors value her work for its connection to personal experience and emotional depth.
