Welcome! I’m so glad you happened upon my website.
Here at Graf Studio, I create gouache paintings! Lately, I’ve been painting trees, but I also love painting skies and every once in awhile I paint a cat or two! I live and work from my home studio in St. Louis, Missouri. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Truman State University and a Master of Education from Maryville University. I spent seven years teaching high school and middle school art and I adored my time as a teacher. Now, when I’m not chasing after my two children, I paint! I would say it’s a way for me to relax and let-go, but I feel like that description falls a bit short. Like many people who create, it gives me a sense of purpose. I find a sense of belonging in the process of creating. Thanks for stopping by!
