Inspired by Nature, Created with Passion

Me sitting by the May River @ The Bluffton Oyster Factory in Bluffton, SC-where it all began!

It seems that my life has always been surrounded with art and design.  Growing up my Mom was always involved in art projects.  She started to throw pottery when I was in pre-school and I watched her fire-up the kiln and create beautiful pieces.  I started taking private art lessons in 3^rd grade and stayed with the same teacher throughout 12^th grade.  I can remember wanting to quit but my Mom kept me going and I thank her for that every day.  That art desire turned into a life of creativity and inspiration.

This company began from a Father’s Day gift for my Dad.  I painted him a lobster platter (as I call it “Pop’s Lobsters") for his beloved summer home in Maine.  Who would have thought that one platter could inspire a company.  Next thing I knew I owned two kilns and was painting night and day.  I lived in South Carolina at the time the company started.  I was painting my patterns for the South Carolina Aquarium in Charleston; I sold my dinnerware to numerous stores in Hilton Head, Bluffton, Beaufort and Charleston; I painted for brides-to-be and even offered a bridal registry.  One of the biggest accomplishments was painting 450 coffee mugs for the Westin Resort on Hilton Head. 

As things happen, life gets in the way sometimes.  In 2003 I moved back to Winter Park, Florida to be with my family and raise my daughter, Bridget.  I continued painting for many family and friends as I worked on my sales career.  During this time I created a successful career bringing in over a million dollars in sales.  I have learned so much about the business world that I can now incorporate into my company.   There has always been this pull and support from the ones I love to continue the dream of creating my dinnerware business.  I am now taking the steps to continue with this journey. I have been very blessed to have created so many products that have shared so many dinner tables.  I am looking forward to sharing my new collections and building a strong, lasting business.
