Learning to Hold Myself Mixed media with recycled paper collage 48 × 60 inches This piece came from a place of deep vulnerability and struggle with the feeling that my body had failed me. As I worked on the painting, I began to realize that before anything else, I needed to learn how to care for myself. The figure holds fear in it as a way of acknowledging that process. For me, the work became about self-compassion, forgiveness, compassion, and the slow practice of learning to love my body again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536bc3d3e4b043cc087596a8/1510578672477-MUZ5N2039CG4LCSPL4W1/Elysian_20170328_MixedMedia_Watermark.jpg Mixed Media - Interior Weather Acrylic and tissue paper on panel 30 × 40 inches This painting came from a very intuitive place. I was curious about texture, studying specific areas I was responding to in my mood at the time and letting the surface build slowly through layers of acrylic, paint, and collage. I experimented with tissue paper in the paint to create depth. The process was about exploration, allowing the textures and colors to shift naturally as the work developed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536bc3d3e4b043cc087596a8/1510578645593-OM7GJBSXKWJD595USDBZ/Flow_20170328_MixedMedia_Watermark.jpg Mixed Media - Stripped Bare Mixed media with recycled paper collage on panel 48 × 48 inches This one is about vulnerability and raw honesty. Working through grief and trying to understand who I am after losing something I had carried as a dream for many years. I work intuitively, responding to the emotions that arise. The figure keeps appearing as someone being stripped down to the core. The layers of recycled paper hold the history of that process. For me, the work reflects being undone and slowly rebuilding a life with new meaning. http://www.detagustin.com/material-explorations daily 0.75 2026-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536bc3d3e4b043cc087596a8/03bd9598-634a-4dd3-94ab-b13fcd6cf980/Abstract_20161210_AlcoholInk_Watermark.jpg Material Explorations - Alcohol Ink Study on Transparent Film Experimenting with alcohol ink and a straw to blow the ink across transparent film. Each breath creates unexpected organic patterns and movements. A playful exploration of chance, control, and what emerges when you let the material guide the process. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536bc3d3e4b043cc087596a8/339fffb0-6cdb-456d-9974-657004c673ee/Abstract_20170730_Acrylic.jpg Material Explorations - Painted Book Pages Transforming discarded books into art journals. I paint, collage, and draw across the pages, layering acrylic, ink, and found materials. Working on recycled book pages gives me freedom to experiment intuitively without the pressure of a blank canvas. The printed words and existing textures become part of the composition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536bc3d3e4b043cc087596a8/ec825378-fa95-4c77-a1b7-6e791df13f88/Flower+Emb_20170115_Thread_Watermark.jpg Material Explorations - Thread Drawing on Dissolvable Fabric Using a vintage Morse Fotomatic IV sewing machine as a drawing tool, I stitch freely across dissolvable fabric. The thread becomes line, moving intuitively across the surface. As the fabric dissolves, what remains is pure thread. An expressive drawing created through the rhythm and meditation of stitching. http://www.detagustin.com/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2026-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536bc3d3e4b043cc087596a8/1553265246137-HRX2KPP3KQMOYD2NH0ZW/DeatonMarmot_20180413_0055.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536bc3d3e4b043cc087596a8/1553265246759-GXXLLYLVTN80KRGKK8QX/DeatonMarmot_20180413_0196.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536bc3d3e4b043cc087596a8/1553265250900-B826CH4QGPEC391KVAOP/DeatonMarmot_20180413_9837+%282%29.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536bc3d3e4b043cc087596a8/1553265250984-PK2M283048693JTDV6U8/DeatonMarmot_20180413_9983.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536bc3d3e4b043cc087596a8/1553265255206-PKI97KAZHFDW63UQ8TVS/DeatonMarmot_20180413_0210.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536bc3d3e4b043cc087596a8/1553265254692-9LMK1TL9AXQ42SZACUAZ/DeatonMarmot_20180413_0129.jpg Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536bc3d3e4b043cc087596a8/1553267391714-WIE2CIT7GE5VSQVISE1V/Kim_0427.jpg Photography Rockli - Post Doc Fellow https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536bc3d3e4b043cc087596a8/1553267104419-T91XGJQKYA8P2836RHMO/Subu_0041.jpg Photography Subu - Faculty https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536bc3d3e4b043cc087596a8/1553267331716-2NEU4BXK2WO1I9V3NUB8/Harkins_0087.jpg Photography Lesley - Staff https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536bc3d3e4b043cc087596a8/1553267444742-WYYKL3OTXXP99X9OIZIE/Justin+Kiel_0413.jpg Photography Justin - Staff https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536bc3d3e4b043cc087596a8/1553267552762-3Z6R9V7Y1FCN6DY30LY7/Emily+Slack_0001.jpg Photography Emily - High School Senior https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536bc3d3e4b043cc087596a8/1553267638427-RHHYWGUEMZQSBGZ0YQW3/Zack+Shea_2015+09+27_0478.jpg Photography Zach - High School Senior http://www.detagustin.com/new-page daily 0.75 2019-03-22 http://www.detagustin.com/about-2 daily 0.75 2026-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536bc3d3e4b043cc087596a8/cc35207a-8e7a-4a6c-bd76-fb2a3b3477f3/Selfie_2024.jpg About - HELLO I'm Claudette "Det" Agustin, an illustrator and designer. I create from a place of intuition, curiosity, and genuine exploration. Whether I'm traveling locally or internationally, I'm always looking. I photograph shapes, lines, and patterns that intrigue me in nature and everyday life. I study them. I sit with them. And then I let my hands move naturally in response to what I've seen. I don't translate things literally. I look for the essence, the feeling, the story living inside those lines and shapes. This creative practice has taught me something important: when I let curiosity lead and judgment step back, I discover who I am at my core. And in that space, I create art that feels true. Art I want to see around me. Art that expresses the joy and emotion I find in the world. My work spans illustration, mixed media, pattern making, and textile design. Right now I'm developing collections inspired by my adventures and everyday explorations. Each one becomes a visual story rooted in real experience and genuine discovery. Beyond my studio work, I teach art and create commissions. But the heart of everything is the same: creativity as a practice of presence. Making something with your hands and heart invites connection, wellness, and joy. I believe that deeply. And I want to share that through my work and help others find it too. I'm actively seeking representation and collaboration opportunities in licensing, textile design, and creative partnerships. I'm interested in bringing these visual stories to life across textiles, fashion, home goods, and beyond. http://www.detagustin.com/videoanimation daily 0.75 2022-10-26 http://www.detagustin.com/digital-fashion daily 0.75 2026-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536bc3d3e4b043cc087596a8/eb1a403a-3437-4649-840b-8125166e13f0/Practice+5_ShirtDress_20230313_0130_3._Submitpng.png Digital Fashion (CLO 3D) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536bc3d3e4b043cc087596a8/3f3ea931-72c5-43e4-9f9c-5878b6890043/Assignment_1.3_PPS_20230312_1328_Lighting_3.png Digital Fashion (CLO 3D) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536bc3d3e4b043cc087596a8/f507fb07-0364-47f2-98bb-ccca51a7dc9c/Practice9_FurJacketandPants_Front_Brown_Submit.png Digital Fashion (CLO 3D) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536bc3d3e4b043cc087596a8/9e81b03e-3812-42f1-b068-aae64fb0c90e/20230623_1523_PPS.png Digital Fashion (CLO 3D) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536bc3d3e4b043cc087596a8/44dc6091-5b33-4794-b479-5ac1910b405c/8_Practice_Ballet_Submit_Colorway+A.png Digital Fashion (CLO 3D) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536bc3d3e4b043cc087596a8/f91a80c0-9e8b-4c3c-9d33-789b0541430f/Practice9_LVPant_Back_Submit.png Digital Fashion (CLO 3D) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536bc3d3e4b043cc087596a8/39de0360-1af2-4a13-85f0-819acf758eef/Practice7_Nike_20230327_1328_Orange_BackgroundFront+%281%29.png Digital Fashion (CLO 3D) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536bc3d3e4b043cc087596a8/de5f93c3-49e0-437d-ac15-0876d60591c2/Practice+6_AlexanderMcQueen_20230320_Black__3.png Digital Fashion (CLO 3D) http://www.detagustin.com/book-cover-concepts daily 0.75 2026-04-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/536bc3d3e4b043cc087596a8/9428e3f3-99aa-4a08-bec4-5acaa620833d/BookConcept_001_Caged+Wings_202603081556.png Book Cover Concepts - Social Psychology Concept Caged Wings explores how isolation reshapes human connection.

Intersecting geometric forms represent nodes and connections, visualizing how relationships and systems emerge through patterns and structure.

The concept reflects behavioral research showing that taking action often builds confidence rather than waiting for it.
