Tell us a little bit about yourself and your background.
My name is Arielle and I’m the woman behind the shop name and the heart behind each canvas and hand-painted card. I started painting one day as something creative to do while I was home on maternity leave with my first daughter and it turned into a small shop overnight. Alongside the help of the local business in the historic Blagden Alley DC I have been able to share my joy of painting with the local community during holiday markets. My goal is to create unique pieces that create positive energy to the customer who buys them and to those they gift my items to.
