That love of God’s creation led to me pursuing an environmental degree from NC State. After graduation, I was working for UNC Chapel Hill and using a lot of design skills to educate others on environmental issues. Designing and creating became a new skill I loved working on day and night. In the meantime, I was at home taking one watercolor course after another. While my love for the environment definitely did not diminish, the joy I felt from art and design only grew. After my husband and I relocated to Clayton and the drive to Chapel Hill became longer (read: an I-40 nightmare) day in and day out, I took the leap to turn my creative passion into a full time business.

Meanwhile, our love of travel has taken us everywhere from the beaches of Southern Italy to the Northern Dolomites, the Alps of Switzerland, the valleys of Peru and I’ve happily painted them all along the way. Now that I’m a mom, I strive every day to slow down, soak in the smallest moments, and share my love of this beautiful world with our daughter. 

The beauty of this precious life fuels me, and drives me to help others find ways to express their gratitude for their own beautiful lives and stories.
