Hello, and thank you for being here.

I was born in Brazil, but I've called America my home for many years now. Art has been part of my life for as long as I can remember — as a little girl, I was always drawing, crafting, or creating something with my hands. That quiet joy of making never left me.

I studied visual arts in school and later worked as an art teacher, sharing the creative spark with others while continuing to grow in my own practice. Over time, I found myself drawn more and more to the peacefulness of nature — the shapes of leaves, the colors of birds, the gentle presence of animals. Nature is my constant source of inspiration, and it speaks a language I understand.

In all that I create, I am ever mindful of the hand of God, the Creator of all things. My work is an attempt to reflect the beauty and wonder that He has placed in this world.

I love quiet moments: hiking in the woods, reading a good book, or simply sitting watching the rain or the snow from a window. My art has to do with those still, soul-filling moments — created slowly, intentionally, and with heart.

This is my guide for life and art : “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might” Ecclesiastes 9:10. It is more than just a favorite quote to me; it’s a guiding principle for how I live and create. It reminds me to pour my heart into everything I do, whether I’m painting a tiny bird, stitching a miniature book, or preparing an order with care.

In both life and art, I believe in doing things with intention, excellence, and quiet joy — not striving for perfection, but offering my best in service to the Creator who gave me these gifts. Each piece I make is an expression of my gratitude to God, to my family, friends, and those who I never met in person, but appreciate my art.

Thank you for supporting my handmade art and little business.

With love,

Mary Burns
