My name is HEATHER, and I LOVE living in the South with my husband (of 20 years,) and our daughter! We've had several moves in those 20 years and feel like we're finally "settled" here in Georgia! It's also where PICK IT PLACE DESIGNS, LLC began!
ART wasn't something I grew up doing- in fact not at all! My younger life did include THE ARTS- Ballet, music, violin, and all things creative; but not actual painting! That began three years ago- officially in 2017! It stemmed out of some very challenging years with my husband and I facing the reality of our daughter's chronic health issues- that are still a part of the story to this day! We have spent years living in a somewhat "quarantined" lifestyle- that included years of homeschooling- so 2020 has felt oddly and ironically a bit natural to us......ALL THAT TO SAY....I began painting with my daughter- as a homeschool class- but also as a means to speed up the time in our long and monotonous days!! It made those challenging days BRIGHTER and we were turning something difficult into something VIBRANT and COLORFUL!! My daughter eventually pursued other interests, but this "momma" continued to pursue the ART...and well....that was the beginning of something NEW!!
In 2017, I grabbed a spare piece of wood in our garage and painted a large flower- and the rest is history as they say! I can honestly say- you never know what can come out of a difficult situation or a difficult season! The art and this new journey has been amazing...unexpected...and God has brought so much LOVE, JOY, and COMMUNITY into my life! ART is a gift!! ART CONNECTS PEOPLE!! That is my heart and passion through my art- REACHING OTHERS!!
