🎨 **Meet the Artist** 🎨

✨⭐️Lizzie⭐️✨

As long as I can remember, art has been a major part of my life. From sitting at the kitchen table with coloring books as a young girl to now creating paintings and drawings that express my thoughts, emotions, and experiences, art has always been a constant in my life. It has been so much more than a hobby—it has been a source of comfort, healing, growth, and self-expression.

Growing up, art gave me a place to escape when life felt overwhelming. It allowed me to process emotions I didn't always know how to put into words and gave me the freedom to create worlds and stories beyond my own reality. Whether I was sketching in a notebook, experimenting with new materials, or spending hours lost in a painting, creating art helped me better understand myself and the world around me.

I am incredibly grateful for the family who encouraged me to continue creating, even during the times when I doubted myself. Like many artists, I've had moments where my own mind convinced me that my work wasn't good enough or that I wasn't talented enough to keep going. Through those moments, my family never stopped believing in me. Their support, encouragement, and love gave me the confidence to continue pursuing what I love.

Some of my favorite memories involve my grandma, who never missed an opportunity to support my creativity. Every Christmas, I could count on finding a new sketchbook, art kit, or creative supply waiting for me under the tree. Those gifts may have seemed small at the time, but they represented something much bigger—a belief in my passion and a reminder to keep creating. Looking back, those moments helped shape the artist I am today.

I primarily work with acrylic paints, but I also enjoy creating with inks, markers, and charcoal. Each medium offers a different way to tell a story and capture emotion, which is one of the reasons I love experimenting with various techniques and styles. No matter the medium, my goal is always the same: to create artwork that feels meaningful, personal, and authentic.

Over the last several years, one of the greatest joys of being an artist has been creating custom pieces for family, friends, and clients. There is something truly special about taking an idea, memory, feeling, or vision and turning it into a piece of art that someone can treasure for years to come. Seeing the smiles, excitement, and emotional reactions when someone receives a piece created specifically for them is a feeling that never gets old.

Art has brought so much happiness and purpose into my life, and I hope to share that with others through my work. Whether it's a painting that brightens your home, a custom piece that captures a special memory, or an idea you've always wanted to bring to life, I would be honored to create something meaningful for you.

My hope is that every piece I create brings a little more beauty, joy, and inspiration into someone's day. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me, support my journey, and follow along as I continue to grow as an artist.

I can't wait to see what we create together. ❤️

From the moment I was able to hold a crayon to color on the walls, art became more than a hobby, it was a fire like passion with nowhere to go.

Growing up, I saw the world in far more than black and white, and with an imagination that couldn’t be tamed, I began honing my skills. Trading crayons for pencils, I found myself in my room drawing cartoons and logos from my favorite rock bands over and over.

Drawing, then painting. Sculpting, then fabricating. Airbrushing, then pen sketching. Carving, then tattooing. I quickly became a ‘Jack of all trades but master of none’ and I struggled with that for a long time. I had a habit of learning a new skill, and dropping it once I became proficient at it. I wanted to be great at everything, but beyond amazing at one. I wanted to be able to zone in my ever changing focus on just one skill.

It took me longer than I’d like to admit, but eventually, I finally understood the rest of that quote. “A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one."

My untamed focus was a product of having Combined Type ADHD. When a new skill became routine, it lost all of its novelty, leading me to pack it up and switch to something else. **This is where also having OCD comes in to play in an oddly beneficial sense. Every art room/space I’ve ever occupied has separate storage for each different type of art. This makes it easier to cycle through my muses!**

I now take complete pride in being a multi-talented artist! With the ability to create projects in my head and bring them to life with my many skill sets, it gives me the edge to be more than just an amazing artist. It lets me be a problem solver, the ability to create things out of thin air, to make art from objects no one would ever look twice at until brought together in a unique way.

I do my best, as a mother, to instill the importance of creativity in my kids. Art can be an emotional outlet, an escape, or just a hobby. But creativity knows no bounds and can be used everywhere!

With Lizzie’s equally artistic abilities as well as her faith in me to go with the flow and trust the process, even when I can’t put into words what the process is, I truly believe that this collaboration in creating The Crooked Paintbrush will not only make us stronger individual artists, but will also show that art goes far beyond any canvas!

With our combined talents and endless amounts of imagination, there may not be a single project that we can’t tackle!

We’re definitely up to the challenge! So bring us your ideas, hold our paint cups, stand back and watch us turn simple ideas into masterful works of art! 🎨🖌️🫟

Yours colorfully,
