The hands behind VellureGallery

Hi — I'm Jayren, the hands behind VellureGallery.

I started VellureGallery because I felt like people don't have enough art in their homes. The kind of pieces you'd find in a museum or gallery always felt out of reach for everyday spaces, so I wanted to bring that same feeling — art worth stopping to look at — right into people's homes.

I'm 22, and I build every piece myself out of my workshop in New York. Each one is cut, sanded, stained, and finished by hand — no factory, no shortcuts. When I ship a piece to you, I've personally touched every part of it, right down to the handwritten thank-you note in the box.

It didn't start out this way. After high school I became an apprentice electrician, working a 9-to-5 with one thing on my mind: building something of my own one day. At night, after work, I taught myself to make wall art on a machine I honestly couldn't afford at the time — I took the risk anyway. Coming from a low-income household, betting on that machine was terrifying. It turned out to be the best decision of my life.

That risk became VellureGallery. It's the proudest thing I've done for myself and my family — and every order still feels personal to me.

What I make are parametric wood sculptures: flowing, three-dimensional pieces that catch the light and change as you move around the room. They're the kind of art that makes people stop and ask, "How did you get this?" I want your walls to have that effect on everyone who walks in.

Thank you for being here, and for letting me make something for your home. I hope you love it as much as I love building it.
