Art has been a constant presence in my life since childhood, where I spent my days sketching, crafting gifts for loved ones, and exploring my creativity outdoors by constructing intricate fairy houses from natural materials. Throughout my college years, I delved into various artistic endeavors, including pottery, three-dimensional art, and painting. Initially, I struggled to narrow down my focus due to my diverse interests. However, I eventually honed in on painting as my primary area of concentration while still indulging in other creative pursuits. Additionally, my college provided a unique work-study program that allowed me to gain hands-on experience in crafting stained glass art. Despite my passion for the arts, I maintained a keen interest in the sciences, particularly the intricate workings of the human body and mind. Consequently, in 2001, I graduated from the esteemed College of the Ozarks with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and Art, with an emphasis in Painting. Subsequently, I pursued a certification in Massage Therapy, opting for what I deemed a more pragmatic career path. After more than two decades of running my own massage therapy practice, I made the decision to retire and pursue my passion for art.

My husband and I have engaged in numerous collaborative endeavors over the years. We share a mutual entrepreneurial spirit, leading us to envision the establishment of an eclectic store that showcases our individual artistic abilities as well as our combined creations.
