ABOUT US

PENCIL SELF PORTRAIT

L.J.BAHE

Welcome, I’m Elle (pronounced “L”) J. Bahe (BAH-hay or Bae). This will be a short bio. I’m a creative and eccentric nomad currently traveling the United States. I began giving my dreams, nightmares and experiences a visual voice at age 9 as a foster kid. Since then, I’ve progressed from pencil sketches to creating different genres in various mediums to soothe my soul. Creating inspiration is both my hobby and my savior; my hope is that my works resonate with others and inspires healing, among other things. I’m a mother of three adults, a dog mom, a mixed-race, mature woman from the southern region of the United States, and a creative.

THE JOURNEY

In 2022, my journey began not as a leap into adventure but as a series of hurdles and struggles for survival, shared with my dog, Lulu. I don’t know where this journey will lead, but I am determined to endure like a Jade Warrior. My mission is to mend the torn canvas of my life, repaint a brighter picture, and share the experience. ❤️‍🩹

MY WORK

L.J. Bahe: A Mending Canvas is a shared journey of healing through creativity. I embrace boundless possibilities, creating a wide range of projects—including books, artworks, and designs—all rooted in the spirit of creativity. Guided by passion, I take each day as it comes, allowing my journey to unfold naturally.
