Hey guys! We're Hayley and Alexander, owners and creators of Foraged Pigment Art. Our business is dedicated to spreading the word about mineral pigment painting!
All of the colors we work with come from Cauca, Colombia (where Alexander's fam has been working with mineral pigments since the 70's) and Upstate NY. We love to teach people how to find their own pigments anywhere in the world. Living between NY and Cauca, we process pigments into paint on a regular basis, paint increasingly large and complex works (so fun!), showcase our artwork in galleries (this year, Bogota!), vend at art events and festivals throughout the North East US, and teach workshops to curious people like you.
Thanks for being here!

We are a couple that forages colorful pigments from volcanic mineral clays and stones in Cauca, Colombia. Our mission is to connect as many people as we can with our unique artwork, while inspiring others to try the soul-satisfying practice of painting with hand-foraged mineral pigments.
On this channel we will:
1. Show you the behind-the-scenes of our newest paintings
2. Reveal brand new completed paintings
3. Offer tips on painting with mineral pigments
4. Give step-by-step tutorials on how to make your own foraged mineral paint anywhere in the world
To learn more about us, how we came across this method of painting, and why we're convinced that foraged pigments make the highest quality paints that even money can't buy, go to our website www.foragedpigmentart.com

Love,
Hayley Dayis and Alexander Fals
