Sarnia de la Mare Enterprises: A Creative Force for Good

Sarnia de la Mare Enterprises is a dynamic arts-driven network dedicated to enriching lives through creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Led by the multi-talented Sarnia de la Mare, a published author, composer, musician, designer, and illustrator with a career that began in the 1980s, the brand brings together a series of projects that reflect its core ethos: to inspire, uplift, and create meaningful, sustainable business opportunities in the world of music, arts, and design.


The Tale Teller Club: Music, Art, and Stories

At the heart of Sarnia de la Mare Enterprises is The Tale Teller Club, a platform dedicated to music and video production, with a special focus on Sarnia’s band, Tale Teller Club. Through channels on YouTube and Lounges TV, the Club provides an immersive experience in both music and storytelling. Beyond performance, The Tale Teller Club publishes scores, musical arrangements, and instructional materials, helping musicians of all levels connect with their craft. The platform also extends to literature, offering audiobook podcasts, e-books, and Kindle publications.

This project is a testament to Sarnia's commitment to making art accessible, fostering learning, and encouraging a deep connection to creativity. Whether through her original compositions or her practical guides for musicians and writers, The Tale Teller Club nurtures a community that values both artistic excellence and personal expression.

The Elderescence Project: Wellness for Every Age

Aimed at mature clients, this wellness platform offers fitness routines, health tips, and lifestyle guidance through podcasts and video content.

With a focus on making well-being accessible and enjoyable, the Elderescence Project serves as a guide to living your best life, promoting vitality and mental clarity. It’s a reflection of Sarnia’s broader vision of empowerment through arts, fitness, and creativity.

Toddle Poddle: Stories for Young Minds

Sarnia’s passion for storytelling extends to younger audiences through Toddle Poddle, a publishing initiative focused on producing engaging and educational fiction and non-fiction for children and families. Toddle Poddle creates immersive experiences for young readers, helping cultivate curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.

By publishing books that are fun, informative, and crafted with care, Toddle Poddle stands out as a trusted source for high-quality content that parents and educators can rely on. It’s another example of Sarnia’s dedication to harnessing the power of art and storytelling to shape positive futures.

iServalan: Ethical Fashion and Art

In response to the harmful impact of fast fashion, iServalan merges digital art with ethical clothing and home décor. The platform produces original designs for clothing and wall art, using a print-to-order dropshipping model that minimizes waste and champions sustainability. Each piece of art tells a story, blending aesthetics with activism, and encouraging consumers to make thoughtful, eco-conscious choices.

Sarnia’s commitment to fighting fast fashion through iServalan isn’t just about creating beautiful things; it’s about changing the way we think about consumption. iServalan's unique combination of art and fashion reflects Sarnia’s desire to merge creativity with ethical responsibility.

Handmade by Sarnia: Upcycling and DIY

Building on the ethos of sustainability, Handmade by Sarnia offers a range of clothing patterns and instructional content, encouraging people to embrace recycling and upcycling. By providing accessible tutorials, Handmade by Sarnia empowers individuals to create their own garments from existing materials, promoting slow fashion as a sustainable alternative.

This initiative reflects Sarnia’s broader mission to fight fast fashion by giving people the tools to create their own unique, eco-friendly wardrobes. Handmade by Sarnia embodies the spirit of empowerment, creativity, and environmental stewardship.

A Legacy of Creativity and Equality

From music and literature to fitness and fashion, her work is unified by a commitment to improving lives and promoting social responsibility. Each project under the Sarnia de la Mare umbrella supports equality, fair wages, and sustainable business practices, reinforcing the belief that creativity can be a force for good in the world.

As a seasoned professional who has shaped the arts landscape since the 1980s, Sarnia’s entrepreneurial spirit continues to push boundaries.

Welcome to the digital world of iServalan, a modern artist on a futuristic mission.

 iServalan is an evolving digital brand that explores the boundaries between art, music, and technology, offering a bold contrast to the tactile, handcrafted nature of Handmade by Sarnia. Working with minimalistic yet striking color palettes—often monochrome—iServalan’s illustrations are unique, amusing, and deeply thought-provoking. Whether working in digital drawings or creating music, iServalan fuses a creative ethos that’s rooted in experimentation and the endless possibilities that technology offers.

As a member of the Tale Teller Club, iServalan has carved a niche in the music world, embracing electronic synths, vocoders, and cutting-edge audio techniques. The band's sound, shaped by iServalan’s tech-driven sensibilities, merges jazz and classical influences with a futuristic twist, embodying a seamless integration of traditional art forms with modern digital technology. Just as iServalan harnesses digital tools to bring her illustrations to life, she also uses similar digital techniques to enrich her music-making process, proving that technology can enhance an artist’s work without compromising authenticity.

In both the visual and auditory realms, iServalan isn't afraid to explore the dynamic relationship between creativity and technology. In her illustrations, simple color schemes and playful concepts become part of an innovative process that transcends the canvas. In her music, synthetic sounds blend with organic elements to create something that feels both timeless and contemporary.

As technology continues to evolve, so too does iServalan’s vision, constantly pushing boundaries and embracing new methods. Her work stands as a testament to the opportunities digital media presents to modern creators, encouraging other artists to dive headfirst into the digital landscape.

With examples of her art, such as the one showcasing a woman in bold, blocky designs operating a washing machine and another in an avant-garde geometric outfit, iServalan plays with humor, fashion, and commentary in ways that provoke thought. These images, paired with her work in the music of Tale Teller Club, show a cohesive and forward-thinking vision, where art and tech meet seamlessly.

Through iServalan, it becomes clear that the digital realm is not just a tool but a platform for expanding artistic boundaries, offering endless opportunities for the future of creativity.
