You're gonna love this....

Happy Tuesday!

I have been trying to get this post finished since 
before mister baby made his debut. 
(which was 6 weeks & 4 days ago in case you lost track :) )
Somehow, I have the time this AM so, without further ado-
I am excited to be able to share this fabulous artist with you. 
Leigh Ann McCoy
Leigh Ann lives in Southwestern, Virginia 
with her husband & adorable 3 year old son. 
When she's not busy with her Wife & Mommy job 
(no idea how that's even possible) 
she finds time to create amazing things like this....




 





        


*Wonderful birthday & wedding gifts

*Unique way to celebrate a family's newest arrival.

*Something to give the person who "has everything."

*I think my favorites are the picture frames & the stork ornaments. 
It's hard to say though... I love it all!
_______________________________________________

I had a chance to ask my talented college pal a few questions 
& here's what she said-

QB: When did you start painting?
LA: have always loved spending time doing some sort of art... painting, drawing, you name it; my interest in it started at a very young age.  As for the painting that I'm working on now - ornaments, frames, glasses, etc. - it all began w/ a few Christmas ornaments I painted for a couple of friends about 5 years ago... it grew from there - thanks to their prompting!!
QB: Do you have any formal art training? 
LA: I do!  I had a double major in college... Psychology and Studio Art.  Honestly, I never really thought I would be using the art like I am now... I more or less just wanted a reason to keep it up while I was in college.  Who knew!!
QB: Where do you find the inspiration for your artwork?
LA: There really isn't one specific thing that inspires me... some days I just wake up with new ideas, others I see things out that I think would be fun to put my own twist on - it could be anything from a pairing of two beautiful colors to a pattern on a piece of fabric.   
QB: What do you like to do in your spare time?
LA: I have a three year old son, so spare time is pretty limited in this house!!! BUT, when there is downtime, I love spending it with my son and husband, painting, cooking, shopping, traveling... if only time allowed for them all!! 
QB: If you could go anywhere on vacation where would it be and why?
LA: Italy!  Lots of art, shopping, good food and wine... it's definitely top on my list!

  2. I love her stuff!! I want her crab and boat frame for Harper's nursery. Does she have an Etsy store? Or is it better to e-mail her directly?
