When I think back to my earliest memories, the images that stand out the most involve art.

I flash back to my first drawing lessons, my big yellow sketchbook, museum trips, and clay sculpted creations made for my mom in elementary school.

Nothing brings me more joy than when something I create touches others in a positive and uplifting way, because that is what art does for me. It always has.

As a child, I had a variety of dreams. I wanted to be a marine biologist, a chef, or an actress. There wasn’t really a set path, but no matter where my imagination took me, I always found stability and comfort in creating. I had finally settled on something when I started college and chose fashion design as my major. I was going to be the next Betsey Johnson and take over New York. 

Life had different plans and we welcomed our first child the summer before my senior year. High fashion dreams shifted to dreams of a small children’s boutique, and my runway became an Etsy shop.

My 20’s were spent growing our family and our home while doing what I could to keep myself inspired. 

After the difficult birth of our third baby I trained to become a doula so that I could help others on their journey’s to grow their families.

I don’t think you can fully gauge how isolating parenthood can be until you're deep within it. What I found to be the most comforting thing was creating spaces that brought me cheer.

 I started with small projects, painting accent walls and fake plants. When my family moved to Delaware, we were able to purchase our first home, something I never thought would be possible. It became tremendously important to me to make this space special.

Unique.

Ours.

I started with one wall and that became two, which became three, and before I knew it, almost every room in our home had its own personality.

I feel so lucky to have moved to an area that embraces art and artists.

I finally feel like I know what I want to be when I grow up.

A Muralist.

My dream has become a reality. I am someone who brings life into other peoples spaces so that they feel inspired and delighted every time they walk into their room.

So what do you think, should we get to work?
