Welcome

Welcome to a New Chapter

Two years ago, I couldn’t have imagined this moment—sitting here, writing this, on the cusp of launching my website, art shop, and stepping into a new season of creativity. It’s humbling. It’s exhilarating. And if I’m honest, it’s a little terrifying. But mostly, it feels like homecoming.

For years, I’ve been on a journey of reinvention. Life has a way of shifting beneath our feet, doesn’t it? Seasons change, doors close, unexpected beauty appears. I never planned to be a painter, let alone one who would build a business from it. But then gouache found me, and suddenly, color and light spilled onto paper, and people started asking for my work. What began as quiet moments of painting for my own joy turned into something more—something I now get to share with you.

This space is for all of us who are drawn to beauty, creativity, and the quiet whisper of faith that reminds us we are being led, even when we can’t quite see the path ahead. Whether you come for the art, the jewelry, the words, or just a gentle moment of encouragement, I hope you’ll find a bit of light here.

I’ll be sharing glimpses behind the scenes—what inspires me, the messy middle of creating, and the lessons I’m learning along the way. We’ll talk about creativity and how to rediscover that spark when it feels out of reach. We’ll celebrate beauty in the everyday, even in seasons of darkness. And we’ll remind each other that it’s never too late to pick up a brush, a pen, a new dream, and begin again.

So, welcome. Make yourself at home. I’m so glad you’re here.
