Serena Alfaro is a Long Beach artist whose work began at the metalsmith’s bench. Working as Nueva Luxe, she made jewelry by hand using traditional metalsmithing techniques, recycled metals, and ethically sourced gemstones. Her pieces draw on her travels, her love of art, and the confident, multifaceted people who inspire her. She now creates under her own name, bringing that same care to her writing and on-camera storytelling.
