An Art Hive is a community art studio that welcomes everyone as an artist. From an art pop-up in a local library to a community studio or gallery, at its heart, an Art Hive is about inclusion, respect and learning. It's a welcoming place to talk, make art and build communities. Responding in creative ways to things that matter.

I have done as much as I can do with the shop until I can get a new computer. This shop has themed sections in a maze I created with an old farm house built by Jamie Wright. It lines up perfectly in multiples and there are many rooms to find treasures. Many are still empty and if anyone would like to have some space for their original content, message me here and we can make it happen.
You will find themes of Ravens, Dragons, Egyptian, Bohemian, Gothic, etc. This is all made mostly with Meshy, of various quality. I also used a couple of other AI mesh platforms. A lot of the furniture has a sit box in them, but with my old lap top I have to use atm. I cant keep adding the animations and some things, like beds, I have to animate from scratch, and can't do it until I have a better rig, but it is all full perm, so if it has no animations, feel free to do it yourself. Have fun shopping! If you like my content, please consider leaving a review here. The shop is above Star Ravenhurst Designs, so it is all under the same umbrella. Thanks for having a look!

It is also on the teleporter at the landing across the grid if you get lost.

Last night I disappeared into Samsara again… and honestly, I think that’s exactly why I love creating worlds like this.

What started as “just building a little Japanese garden” slowly turned into something much deeper. Piece by piece the atmosphere came alive: the dark koi pond, the softly glowing lanterns, the curved bridge, the raked sand patterns, cherry blossoms falling onto the paths, and the quiet feeling of hidden peace between the bamboo.

This place wasn’t made from perfection. It was made from feeling.
Moving stones.
Adjusting lights.
Watching reflections in the water.
Following instinct instead of a plan.

People sometimes ask why virtual worlds matter so much to us.
Because places like this become more than pixels. They become memories, emotions, creativity, comfort, stories… little pieces of ourselves.

And tonight, for the first time, I stood still in this garden and felt:
“Yes… this is exactly what I imagined.”

Welcome to my little corner of Samsara 🌸
