The Painted Moment

A tribute painting to a woman whose legacy reached far beyond music 🤍
Dolly Parton was an icon, but one of the most beautiful parts of her legacy was the love she poured into children through her Imagination Library! My own son has been receiving books through Dolly’s Imagination Library since he was 2 years old. Watching those books arrive at our home, seeing his excitement as he opened them, and getting to build his love for reading through something Dolly created is something I will forever be grateful for!
Your legacy will live on in every little reader 🦋

POV: You turned someone’s wedding day into a painting they can keep forever. 🥹🎨💍
And SHE’S FINISHED!!! ✨
This was my first wedding painting and I’m honestly so proud of how it came together. From a blank canvas to a memory they can hang in their home forever. 🤍
Would you have a painting made at your wedding?! 👀

✨🎨 THE ART ROOM IS GETTING A MAKEOVER! 🎨✨
The art room at the Independence Center is getting a fresh new look, and I’m SO excited to welcome everyone back! 💕🖌️
Painting classes will officially resume September 19th from 3–5 PM with a fun fall themed painting class! 🍂🎨🍁 Get ready for cozy vibes, creativity, and of course… a beautiful painting to take home!
Moving forward, I’m also making a small change to the format of my classes. 💕 Classes will now be strictly painting focused, which means I will no longer be providing snacks and drinks. This allows me to put even more focus into creating a fun, relaxed painting experience where we can spend our time learning, creating, and enjoying the art! 🎨✨
I’m so excited for this next chapter of my painting classes and to continue creating with you all! 🥰

📅 September 19th ⏰ 3–5 PM 🍂 Fall Themed Painting Class 📍 Independence Center Art Room

Save the date and come paint with me! 🎨💕

A special banner for a very special little guy! 💙🎨✨
I had the honor of creating this Pre-K banner for my very own son, and this one definitely hits different. 🥹 Watching him grow, learn, and reach new milestones makes my mama heart SO proud!
Of course, I had to make his first day of Pre-K extra special with a custom banner from Mom! 💙📚✏️
Banner inspo from Pinterest!

✨ LAST WEEK TO SEE MY EXHIBIT! ✨
If you haven’t had a chance yet, this is your LAST WEEK to come check out my exhibit with the The Story Center at MCPL!
This exhibit has been such a beautiful experience for me, not only being able to share my artwork, but getting the opportunity to connect with so many amazing people through my art. Every conversation, kind word, and person who took the time to stop and look at my work has meant so much to me 🥹❤️
I’m incredibly grateful for this opportunity and for everyone who has supported me along the way!
If you’re in the area, go check it out before the exhibit ends! You don’t want to miss it 🫶🏾🎨
Thank you, Mid Continent Public Library, for giving my art a space to be seen! ✨

A little upgrade for The Painted Moment! 🎨✨
I finally upgraded my setup for larger paintings and live painting events, and I couldn't be more excited! Even better, I have my original painting "The Horizon They Left Behind" back in my possession, and I still can't get over the depth in this piece. It's a reminder of how far I've come, and how excited I am for what's next!
Who's ready to see what I create next? 💙
