I grew up with art in her bones — drawing Disney princesses so well her mom thought she was tracing them. After a graphic design degree, years in corporate America, and a season of burnout that pulled her away from everything creative, she found her way back in a pottery studio on her lunch breaks.

​

When life brought her to a remote Florida town with no creative outlets, two daughters, and a need for something real, God struck like a lightning bolt — and Paint & Bake was born. She went mobile and began bringing the studio directly to the people who needed it most.

​

After a move to Arizona in November 2025, Paint & Bake continues its mission: in a world drowning in screens and noise, putting your hands in clay and being present with your people is one of the most powerful things you can still do.
