We serve to build a community where creativity supports mental well-being, providing relieve through both artistic expression and mindful art objects.

Meet the Artist

Hi, I’m Alyson Le’au, owner of Trash Canvas Studios! I’m an artist, project manager, a mom, a wife, a friend and, most days, a bit of a hot mess. After years of being stuck in cycles that fueled my anxiety, panic, and depression, I found relief through returning to art. Creating became more than an outlet, it became a way to heal and hold space for others to do the same.

I design mindful art objects to ease the weight of existence, spark reflection, and offer comfort in difficult moments. I’m always looking to collaborate with artists, therapists, and like-minded people who believe in art as a lifeline.
