Meet The Maker

Hey there, I’m Kelly and I’m the owner and artist of Brush and Thread Studio. I’m a wife to Chase and have been married since 2010.  We have two adorable, wild and crazy boys named Gavin and Roman.  If you’ve been around for a while, you may know me by my original name, Gav + Ro.  I was mainly a blogger up until August of 2019 when I lost my site due to technical difficulties/user lack of knowledge. When that happened, I felt like God was telling me that the blogging, content creator chapter of my work was over and that the shop I considered a side hustle was my designed path.*

*Cut to a few months later when I start to get the itch again. I prayed about it, nothing said don’t do it, and overachieving self said go for it. So…here we are.

Most days you can find me in my at-home office painting, stitching, or just creating in general. I am mostly known for my watercolor portraits and hoop art.  But I am also known to those around me as a “jane-of-all-trades”.  I love crafting and creating things (read: recreating Pinterest finds) for people I love. I create pretty and fun pieces that are perfect for your favorite gallery wall, shower gifts, or just gifts in general.

The things I am most passionate about in life are my faith, my family, and creativity.  I am truly blessed to be able to work from home, doing what I love!

When I’m not busy working you can catch me reading, doing brain puzzles on my phone, and photographing/Insta-storying just about everything my kids do.

Just for funsies, here are 5 random things you might not know about me… 

  1. I’m an enneagram 3w4.
  2. Unicorns are my jam.
  3. I was a part of the dance world for 30 years from competitive dancer, to choreographer, to teacher.
  4. I have a deep love for local coffee shops and cafes but will also stop at any Starbucks.  My coffee love does not discriminate.
  5. My favorite food is food…but if you’re making me pick, nachos.

Still here? Yay! Let’s connect! Pop by on Instagram and say hey.(@brushandthreadstudio)
