My Story
I haven’t always been into Painting, In March 2020, I decided to take my craft into the world of weddings, creating personalized items for couples on their special day. But just as I was starting this new chapter, the world was turned upside down by the COVID-19 pandemic. Like so many others, I had to adapt. I discovered a new love in painting home decor signs and in 2024 I added Sip & Paint Parties. It’s been an incredible way to share the fun side of art, and creativity with others.
My journey took a powerful turn a few years earlier, on May 22, 2017. I could of lost both of my daughters in the Manchester Arena bombing. That experience became a pivotal moment for me—it reminded me just how precious life is and inspired me to pursue my dreams with everything I had. Now, every paint party, every project, every gathering is about creating something meaningful, making memories, and bringing people together through fun paint parties.
Thank you for being a part of this journey with me. Whether you're here to explore a paint party or create something special, I can’t wait to share a little creativity with you!
