Step into my world, where are isn't just a passion-it's a legacy passed down through generations of strong, creative women. My journey began in the heart of Opp, AL, where I grew up next to my grandmother, Sarah Young, a true artist in every sense.

Granny Young's art studio was my haven, a place where I learned to appreciate the beauty of every brushstroke and the magic of creation. It was there that I discovered my love for china painting, a medium that spoke to me like no other.

When lofe led me to Milwaukee, WS, Granny Young foresaw the challenges ahead and gifted me with the tools of her trade. Armed with her kiln, brushes, and porcelain, I embarked on a journey to carry on her legancy.

Now, four decades later, I stand before you as a proud artist, my passion for china painting burning brighter than ever. But my journey doesn't end there. Inspired by Granny Young's spirit, I've expanded my artistic horizons to include the intricate of jewelry making.

Yet, through it all, china painting remains my true north, a timeless art form that binds me to my grandmother's memory. It's a connection that runs deep, shaping not just my art, buy my identity.

And here's a fascinating twist: My father's admiration for the enigmatic MONA LISA even influenced my name-I am Mona Lisa, the first daughter born into our family.
