Hey there, I'm Rae! It's so nice to meet you! 

I've always had a passion for arts and crafts - it's just a part of who I am. My family has a long line of talented artists, so it's no surprise that I'm drawn to a life filled with beauty and inspiration. 

On my mom's side, I come from a family of French luthiers, although I never had the chance to meet them. My blind grandpa was incredible at making the smoothest wooden furniture and toys, and my grandma was a talented embroiderer. They, along with my mom, taught me how to crochet, knit, embroider, and even make my own clothes. 

On my dad's side, my grandpa was resourceful and creative, making things out of whatever he had on hand. 

All of these influences have shaped who I am and my work! 

There are so many crafts out there that I want to try - the list is endless! 

Crafting has been a lifeline for me during tough times with my health over the past 20 years. Whether it was making cards or doing some coloring, it always gave me something to focus on. 

Taking a ceramics class changed my life and inspired me to teach others. I've been teaching for several years now and I absolutely love passing on my knowledge.
