In 2022, after my daughter passed away, I felt lost. I had spent the past 7 months in the hospital with her and was ready to dedicate the rest of my life to caring for her and the needs she required.

I didn't know what to do with myself, so when a friend invited me to come paint with her and her mom, I jumped at it. And everything changed.

Growing up, I wanted to own a ceramic paint shop... that's where I developed most of my painting skills. Painting just always came natural to me. Then life happened and I got busy doing all the things as an adult I thought I "should" do. How could I possibly have a business painting that actually makes money?

So I kept doing all the other things that burned me out, sucked my soul dry, and wasn't God's purpose for me. Piper got me back on the right path... oooo boy did she teach me MANY lessons in our 7 months together. I will be forever thankful to her.

I miss her everyday. To honor her and help others who have been in the same boat, I donate paintings or 15% to support babies like her in the hospital. I particularly enjoy painting Hope Angels and donating them. We all need more hope.
