Thank You for Painting and Sipping With Me in 2025

As this year comes to a close, I want to take a moment to say thank you — from the bottom of my heart — to everyone who joined me for Paint & Sip at the Sand Factory.

These last Paint & Sip nights mark the closing of a very special chapter. What started as simple painting gatherings turned into something so much bigger: real connection, laughter, creativity, and community inside my studio. Week after week, I watched people walk in as strangers and leave feeling lighter, inspired, and proud of what they created.

Thank you to everyone who showed up — to paint, to support, to collect my dolls, to share your time and energy, and to simply be present. Thank you to those who supported the studio through free entrance nights, purchased artwork, brought friends, and believed in the vision. Every single person played a role in making these nights unforgettable.

This year was about building, experimenting, learning, and creating together in real time. I’m so grateful for the memories we made — the conversations, the music, the moments of quiet focus, and the joy that filled the room every time the paint brushes came out.

As I close out Paint & Sip for now, I’m stepping into a new season. Moving forward, my focus will shift more toward online projects, expanding my brand digitally, traveling, and developing new creative work behind the scenes. This isn’t an ending — it’s a transition.

There will still be Paint & Sip events next year, but they will be more intentional and occasional. I’m planning special private sessions and holiday-focused paint nights, including Valentine’s week in February, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and a few select moments throughout the year. These gatherings will continue to be meaningful, creative, and community-centered — just on a smaller, more focused scale.

Thank you for trusting me with your time, your energy, and your creativity. Thank you for painting with me inside my studio. Thank you for supporting my art, my dolls, and the Sand Factory.

I’m excited for what’s next — and I’m deeply grateful for everything we’ve built together.
