Thanks for stopping my shop, The Nap Time Artist! As you may have guessed from the name,
I paint (and drink coffee) while my kids are napping. Inspired by the great outdoors here in Maryland, I love to paint pieces that pop with color and vibrancy. As a SAHM, no two days are the same, and the same goes for what you see in my shop. That’s why a donut or two may show up in a piece—I love donuts! I hope you find something you have to have, and if you have a custom request, well, let’s talk!

Shh, they're sleeping
I have been painting for the past 15 years. I love to surround myself with pretty things- things that contribute to my happiness and peace. With each painting completed, I have an opportunity to share in a moment of tranquility with the recipient. That is a very special thing.
I received a formal training of art in college. I then graduated and got a career in a totally different field. Having an etsy shop is an opportunity for me to make a career of my passion.
I have been inspired by many, but my biggest artistic inspiration was my grandfather, who recently passed away. My paintings are done to honor the memory of him: a modest man who taught me to take the scenic route and not worry so much about time, or the lack of it.

Fresh air. I love getting outdoors, breathing in some fresh air and taking in the beauty that surrounds me. The goal of my artwork is to take the viewer to some new place, a place that we can share a moment in. Oh, and I like snacks.

I chose this printing service because of their reputation for both high quality and high volume. Although each of my images are hand-painted, I chose to partner with a local printing service in order to expedidite my customer's orders.
