Make This Summer Memorable!
Hello Beautiful Souls
August has a special way of reminding us to slow down and enjoy the little things before another season begins. Whether it's gathering with friends, celebrating life's milestones, or simply making time for yourself, this is the perfect month to create memories that will last long
after summer fades.
We invite you to join us for another month filled with creativity, laughter, and unforgettable experiences. Check out our August Paint & Sip schedule and reserve your seat—we can't wait to create with you!

August Paint & Sip Schedule
🌙 Introducing... The Moonlight Collection
This month I'm excited to begin a new series of paintings inspired by the quiet beauty, wonder, and timeless mystery of the full moon.
For centuries, each full moon has carried its own unique name and story, inviting us to pause, look up, and appreciate the rhythms of nature. Through The Moonlight Collection, I'll be exploring those moments of stillness, reflection, and awe that only moonlight seems to inspire.
I hope these paintings encourage you to slow down, embrace the beauty around you, and discover that sometimes the most meaningful moments
are found in the quiet.

Lisa's Fine Art Spotlight
I have been a practicing fine art artist for many years, in fact it was my fine art that inspired me to launch Painted Pearls.
I call my more elevated detailed work my fine art and the work we create
in class as my fun art. This fine art piece is one of my favorite mixed media (button) works, "Heart & Soul"
Look closely at each sisters hands, on the left she is holding "fire" to represent the soul and on the right she is holding a small ruby red heart. The intention of this painting was to highlight the love and compassion of women and the resilient power & essence of her soul.
Yes it is for sale, call me for details.

🎁 Gift Shop Spotlight
Our gift shop features a wide array of handmade gifts
Our August Featured Art
'Blind Faith Wisdom Masks"
Unique. Colorful. Collectible.
Each Blind Faith Wisdom Mask is a reimagined reflection inspired by my personal collection of African masks gathered over many years. Handcrafted on wood or burlap-covered canvas, every piece is one of a kind and incorporates found objects such as cabinet hinges, screws, tassels, and reclaimed treasures that tell their own story.
Each mask is adorned with a symbolic key representing wisdom and includes a functional hook designed to hold keys, jewelry, or other treasured keepsakes—making every piece both beautiful and practical.
More than art, these masks are gentle reminders to seek the wisdom that already lives within us. Their intention is to inspire us to quiet the noise, listen to our hearts, and embrace the peace that flows from living with purpose and good intentions.
Available exclusively at the Painted Pearls Gallery.
$35 to $45.00

🏡 Lisa's Real Estate Corner
Building New Dreams
The Columbus real estate market continues to offer exciting opportunities, especially for buyers considering new construction.
Many builders are currently offering below-market interest rates, along with attractive incentives that can make monthly payments significantly more affordable than purchasing an existing home at today's traditional mortgage rates.
When you compare the long-term savings of a lower interest rate, a brand-new home can often be the smarter financial choice.
For instance if you were buying a Gahanna home at $350,000.00 with 3.5% down which is $12,250
using the average interest rate for existing homes of
6.63%, your payment will be $2820 P&I
if you purchased a new construction home in Gahanna at the lower than market interest rate of 4.5% with the same factors your payment
would be $2366 with P&I
that is a difference of $454 per month
over the life of the loan you would be saving over $13,000.00
and you have the opportunity to be living in a brand new energy saving home which will return you equity almost immediately.
I'm proud to partner with several respected builders throughout the Columbus area, giving my clients access to communities across the city, special financing opportunities, and builder incentives that aren't always available to the general public.
If you've been wondering whether building a new home is right for you, I'd love to help you explore your options through a
complimentary consultation.
