Boone Creek Loft emerged out of my never-ending desire to create. Since my sweet son was born and I decided to stay home, I have yearned for a creative outlet. I felt that I needed some way to express, to be creative, to produce.

In January of 2013, I made a goal to start selling my art. A crazy goal, since I hardly had time to paint, but since I'm a goal-oriented person, it worked! I opened shop in April of 2013 and it has been an amazing journey so far.

I love finding old wood and making it beautiful again. The life of one of my pieces begins in my favorite little sketch book. An idea pops into my head and I have to get it out onto paper, sometimes even in the middle of the night. Then comes the construction phase. Every couple of weeks we (my awesome husband and I) head over to one of our favorite local reclaimed wood "spots" (i.e. businesses that are giving up their old shipping pallets or barn wood) with our baby blue Ford and load up! We disassemble all the pallets, sand, cut and reassemble them into wood canvases. My favorite part of the whole process is watching that little sketch or vision from my head come to life on a wooden canvas. I paint everything by hand. It takes longer that way and comes with little imperfections, but I love the look and feel of it. Stencils and vinyl don't cut it in my world :)

I feel so grateful to be a part of such a unique and talented community of buyers and sellers. Sometimes, this whole thing feels like a dream! Like I said, Life sure is sweet :)
