Aly grew up in beautiful Eastern Tennessee close to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. She loved all things art and spent most of her time drawing, painting, and crafting as a kid. When she wasn’t creating, she spent her time outdoors enjoying nature and observing the wildlife. Her love of nature and animals is still her biggest inspiration. She now resides with her husband in the “Peaceful Side of the Smokies” still enjoying the things she loves most art, nature, and most importantly, creating.
