Nest
Nest is a custom painting and furniture restoration business specializing in hand painted cabinetry, heirloom restoration, and curated antiques and vintage finds.
I left an unsafe and failing marriage in 2018 as the primary caregiver to three boys ages 8, 6, and 13 months, turning my hobby of painting into my family’s sole source of income. In the last four years, and with the acquisition of my first brick and mortar location, Nest on Sevier (located at 820 Sevier Ave.) Nest has grown into a lifestyle brand enabling me to parlay my passions into SoKno centric candle designs, a custom jewelry line, and a collaborative business endeavor for several other female owned small businesses, while still offering my painting and restoration services.
Afewca
I transfer personal travel photos onto various substrates and add texture with oils
My art celebrates the movement and moments in travel. Appreciating life with open eyes and taking in the sameness and difference in the world changes the traveler. While traveling over 8 years as a volunteer around the world I took photos of everything. I now use those photos as either inspiration or transfers in my pieces. I love texture in art and try to implement either literally or with as a feeling in my work.
I’m from Southern California. I earned a BA & MA in Speech Communication with Minors in Literature, Women’s Studies, and Italian Medieval Studies from UTK.
