About The Shop
Ambient Willow is a little online art shop owned by ZenChristian Mott, a black woman creative in Tampa, FL. She offers original artwork and creations all deeply rooted in hope, healing, and growth. The meaning of Ambient Willow simply put is "the hope that surrounds us." The shop was established in the summer of 2020 and was nothing more than the seed of an idea. What started out as just a space to share and sell art is now a community space for the souls that need a little joy and light or just to be seen. Ambient Willow is a shop that fosters hope through art and cares about the well being and mental health of all creatives, especially black creatives.
