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.

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.

Thank you for your […]
