About Us
Where Art Meets Everyday Life
Hi, I'm Maria Hughes, the artist and founder behind Lifestyleimageshop.com. What started as a creative exploration during my time at Paul Mitchell the School has evolved into a museum-quality lifestyle brand that brings artistic expression into your everyday wardrobe and home.
The Origin Story
My journey began in the world of performance art at Paul Mitchell the School, where I discovered the power of creative expression and visual storytelling. That foundation in artistry taught me to see beauty in unexpected places and to approach design with both technical precision and emotional depth.
I realized I wanted to create more than just products—I wanted to build a bridge between the museum gallery and your daily life, making art accessible, wearable, and sustainable.
Our Artistic Vision
Every piece in our collection is designed with a museum-quality aesthetic in mind. Drawing inspiration from botanical themes, iconic artists like Frida Kahlo, and the natural world, we create swimwear, apparel, and accessories that tell a story.
We believe fashion should be an extension of artistic expression—bold, meaningful, and beautifully crafted. Each design is carefully curated to bring gallery-worthy art into your everyday moments.
Sustainability at Our Core
As an artist, I'm deeply connected to the natural world that inspires my work. That's why sustainability isn't just a buzzword for us—it's fundamental to how we operate.
We use:
- Recycled materials whenever possible in our products
- Print-on-demand production through our partnership with Printful, eliminating waste from overproduction
- Eco-friendly packaging to minimize our environmental footprint
- Tree planting initiatives with Sprout to give back to the planet
Every purchase supports a more sustainable approach to fashion—one that honors both artistry and the environment.

Based in San Antonio, Texas, our brand carries the creative spirit and cultural richness of our community. We're proud to be a small, artist-owned business that prioritizes quality, authenticity, and meaningful connections with our customers.
