ArtWalk Artist: Robyn Moore Arts

Hello and thank you for visiting Robyn Moore Arts, a Charlotte based business. My artistry evolved from a love of color. As a self-taught artist, my curiosity and fearless approach unearthed a passion that colors my life with pure joy and freedom. My style is ever-changing and evolving. I draw inspiration from my emotions, my family, travels and nature. I love creating art with an array of vivid colors that enables thought to mind, soul, and heart. Acrylics, permanent inks, alcohol inks, and resins are used in various combinations to build multiple layers and enable bold and rich colors.

ArtWalk Artist: Bows and Such by Amelia

My name is Ana and I’m a girl and dog mom. Fast facts about me, I love to bake, knit and crochet. I almost opened a bakery but life has other plans. My obsession about bows and headbands began immediately upon learning we were having our little girl, Amelia. She has been our greatest blessing and everything! Each and every item is inspired by my precious little girl. Hoping to spread the same love and happiness we get by wearing these bows and headbands. After all, life is too short to be anything but happy!

ArtWalk Artist: Songbird Cabin Designs

Eileen Engel is the maker behind Songbird Cabin Designs. Her jewelry is deeply influenced by her love of the Southwest as well as the lush green woods here in NC. Songbird Cabin Designs is named for her first home in Waxhaw~a little log cabin that was tucked into the woods which provided endless inspiration via the light through the trees, the full moon over mighty oaks, the abundant flowers of spring and summer, the breathtaking colors of the autumn leaves, the birds and the bugs and the tiniest of acorns adorning the path through the woods. Thank you for your […]

ArtWalk Artist: Creative Bee Jewelry

Hi! I’m Elesha, owner of Creative Bee Jewelry. I have been making jewelry for over 10 years but recently found a love of polymer clay. I love mixing my clay pieces with other materials such as brass, leather, cork and vintage pieces as well. Quarantine finally gave me the time I needed to start my Etsy shop. I live in Charlotte and am so happy to be included in this virtual art walk.
