Dede graduated from Woodward Academy and studied painting, drawing and graphic design at The Universtiy of Georgia and has a degree in Advertising.
After college they both began working at the Oak Grove Young Children’s School where they reconnected while teaching three and four year olds and found a similar passion for art and teaching.
For several years they taught art camps and classes at various community centers and schools when finally, in 2005, they decided to build their own busiess and open an acutal studio. They both have a shared love for glitter, making new things out of paper plates and trying new stuff!
