About Us

Once an Artist Always An Artist

"Once an artist, always an artist" is what my grandmother used to always say. My mother and I knew it was true too. For years we have been making art together, it was just as much an act of love as it was a learning of skills. Calm Cool and Crafted, was created as means for us to try and support our dream of being able to draw, paint, craft, and inspire the world to be more creative.
