About
Hey, my name is Paola “Channi” Avila and I’m so grateful and blessed to live in summery Southern Cali. Forever a wild child at heart, joy is sacred to me so I’m always looking to have a fun time and make a spectacle of myself. However, I am a master in professionalism when the situation calls for it. I have been told that my upbeat energy is contagious, that I have a gift for making people feel valued and seen, and that I am able to create beautiful moments of unity between individuals. My friends would describe me as someone with a buoyant persona, curious, openminded, the “hype-man”, a healer, a clown, highly imaginative, intuitive, a “colorful cartoon character”, and most importantly someone they can feel safe to be their authentic selves around. My hobbies/interests include: laughing until I cry, singing (my passion far outweighs my talent LOL), dressing up/cosplay, pranking my friends and random strangers, acting, reading seven different books at a time, retail therapy, memes, acting insane online, anything and everything that involves art and creativity, and just pursing what brings me joy and chasing the feeling of excitement. I have always had an endless affinity and passion for creativity, beauty, and have been creating art since I could decapitate a barbie doll; I have found it is the best way for me to translate and transmit my ideas, feelings, and philosophies. Having a love for experimenting with various creative media has made me a true Jack of all trades, I have an insatiable thirst to constantly learn new things and push myself out of my comfort zone, and I strive to be a true renaissance woman who is proficient in every possible creative medium.
Whether you stumbled upon my page as a possible employer or with the intention of commissioning me, whatever the reason, I believe that nothing is ever coincidence, so if you feel called to connect with me I highly encourage you to reach out, even if it is not work/art related, I am always excited to make new friends and connections! Thanks for looking!
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11
