Our Mission

At The Artist’s Hoard, our mission is simple:

to nurture creativity, build community, and make art accessible to all.

We believe everyone is an artist at heart — sometimes you just need the right space (and supplies!) to bring it out. That’s why we’ve created a warm, welcoming environment where people of all skill levels can explore their creativity, learn new techniques, share inspiration, and celebrate each other’s work.

From casual crafters to professional painters, kids just discovering color to adults rediscovering joy — there’s a place for you here.

    Hi, I’m Heather — artist, organizer, and proud hoarder of all things creative! I opened The Artist’s Hoard to create a cozy, colorful corner of creativity where everyone feels inspired to explore, experiment, and just make stuff. Whether I’m stocking the shelves with vibrant supplies, leading a workshop, or happily talking your ear off about the perfect glue pen, I’m here to help you tap into your creativity — no matter your experience level. Art should be joyful, accessible, and a little bit wild, and I’m so glad you’re here to be part of it.
