About Expressive DeZien
Welcome to Expressive DeZien! I’m Jenise, a passionate creator and blues singer based in the heart of Oklahoma, USA. My mission is simple: to bring artistry to life through distinctive, one-of-a-kind designs that resonate with you. I’m not a faceless corporation; I’m dedicated to my craft and to the community around me.
The name Expressive DeZien (pronounced 'design' with a twist) reflects my journey. It was born in college when I was tasked with naming my business. Rejecting the conventional, I fused ‘expressive’ and ‘design’ to create ‘DeZien,’ spiced up with a bold 'Z.' This journey began over 15 years ago, sparked by a dot com graduation gift.
Though life led me to the medical field, my passion for art never waned. In 2018, inspired by love and necessity, I embarked on my entrepreneurial adventure. With my husband’s unwavering support, I transitioned from contract work to crafting hand-sand-carved wine glasses adorned with unique art. Today, our offerings have expanded to include screen-printed T-shirts and a variety of customizable products, from glassware to home décor.
My journey isn’t limited to the visual arts. I’m also deeply rooted in the world of music and recently had the privilege of singing at the 34th Dusk til Dawn Blues Festival in Rentiesville, Oklahoma. I’m incredibly proud to call the legendary Selby Sue Minner not just my mentor but a lifelong friend. Her influence has been invaluable, both in my music and my life, and I’m honored to stand alongside her in the rich blues tradition she has cultivated.
My husband, the technical guru, plays a crucial role in turning my creative visions into reality, combining his expertise with my artistic flair.
I cherish every project, whether it’s for businesses, individuals, or charitable causes. I’ve had the privilege of creating for weddings, reunions, and more, always striving to give back. My artistry spans sublimation, vinyl, sand carving, painting, and embroidery, and for just over two years, I’ve been doing what I love—creating beautiful products for people like you while sharing my love for music through my blues singing.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. Let’s collaborate and craft something special together!
