About me
Dothan, Alabama is a small country town that has a population of eight thousand people. This was I, Crystal “Oletha” Bryant, was born in 1984. I, now living just outside Atlanta in Henry County, am from a big family of mostly males. As a matter of fact, I was the only girl and am also the youngest in the family. Rise with the mentality “if you want it, get up and get it”, I started painting at the age of six. My first painting, “A beaver building a Dam” was placed in the Wiregrass Art Museum. I then started designing at the age of eight. I attribute this credit to my Mother. She used to tell me about some of the things she did when she was a little girl, like playing with paper dolls and designing her own dresses. I wanted to be just like her so one day she took me to Toys R Us to see if they would have some on hand on materials to help me get started. She bought me doll dresses and I started to play with them by tracing them on paper. I basically came up with additional designs to go with the dolls. I kept on doing this until I started drawing the designs without the dolls.

In 2004, I moved to Atlanta with my mother to start anew and was blessed to get a job working at a downtown gallery. That year proved to be a great year. I had my first solo art show that same year at the Fox theater during the play”Bubling Brown Sugar” I sold two paintings and got recognition by some special people. The Inspirations of my paintings are from a mixture of Rubens and Frida Khalo. I love to make paintings tell a story to catch a person’s attention. The inspiration of my designs come from a mixture of some of my favorite designers; Versace, Dior, and Betsey Johnson. I graduated from American Intercontinental University in 2007 majoring in Fashion Design and Marketing. I received the Vice President Choice Award AIU Annual Fashion Show “Global Dreams” for my presentation at the Annual Senior Fashion Design Show. In February 2009 I had my first showcase at the Vogue downtown were I received wonderful recognition and praise for my work. I was commissioned to design a Men’s wear line for Jagged Edge and have done designed for an upcoming R&B group called “Bad Girl”. I am look forward to doing bigger and better things in the future.
