Many of you know me as the law student who skipped the bar to follow her art dreams. But there is so much more to the story than that. The early projects. The setbacks. The financial decisions in light of student loans. The fact that I originally refused to start an Instagram page?! I'm coming up on 9 years of EBD and looking back on the journey is equal parts excitement, relief and disbelief. I am so grateful for the growth over these 9 years, and I am excited to see what comes in year 10!!

If you're new here, welcome! I started my business on my 18th birthday selling paintings I made in my spare time. I continued to run and grow it through college and graduate school, and into law school at Duke University. Now I run the company full-time, with a law degree in my pocket, and I wouldn't have it any other way! I sell my art on my website, wholesale on Faire.com and I consent to the sale of my work in stores including Home Goods, Marshalls, At Home and World Market.
