Crows_Nest_Atelier

Hi there! I’m Stephanie Crow. Wife to Mark. Mom to four wonderful children. Ever since I can remember art has been a part of my life. As a child my favorite Christmas gifts were paint by numbers and complex model car kits. My head was either stuck in a book or doing something artistic during my youth. I was a talented art student throughout high school. Yearbook editor and designer my senior year. From the time I was young I aspired to be an architect, but life had other plans. I studied both architecture and graphic design while attending Louisiana State University. GEAUX TIGERS! I attribute much of my artistic growth to that year in the design school. I ultimately graduated with a bachelors in accounting and a masters of accounting. For many years my artistic focus was funneled into home renovation projects. My husband and I purchased a foreclosure and have been renovating it ever since. (Watercolor above of our post renovation exterior). Sweat equity is the name of our game. During 2020 I began hybrid homeschooling my oldest children while working remotely. With little else to do in my free time (because four kids don’t keep me busy enough) I returned to my artistic passions. One painting turned into a request for a print, which turned into a quest to find a printer, which revealed a mass of possibilities, and a rabbit hole that began a business. My art and photography is inspired by my southern roots in Louisiana, my Catholic faith, and love of all things coastal.
