After 20+ years in the Finance world, I began looking for ways to add more creativity into my life. The left side of my brain was exhausted and begged me to tap into the right side a little more. I began drawing, but soon moved into painting where I found my real passion. I am self-taught and love trying out new styles. My favorite medium is oil.

The left side of my brain was exhausted and begged me to tap into the right side a little more. I began drawing, but soon moved into painting where I found my real passion. I am self-taught and love trying out new styles. My favorite medium is oil. I was inspired from an early age by the art unit each year in French class, where I immediately fell in love with Monet’s works. Most of my inspiration comes from that early exposure and love of impressionist work, as well as my love of the ocean and nature. I hope to evoke a bit of the peace I feel when I’m creating into each of my paintings. Show less

We are all about keeping it Simple so you can have fun and be stress free. Simply Caddy was born on a car ride with three giggling girls and two moms on the way to a dance competition. It was the first year our daughters were on the competitive dance team. We, the moms, had never danced and were not sure we had it all together. We kept saying, “There has to be a better way to have everything organized, packed and ready to use.” And so the idea for The Caddy was born! We are excited to finally have our vision come to life. The Caddy and the Caddy Accessories will help us all, Dancers and Moms, keep organized in a simple and calm manner. On a side note, the three leaves of our logo represent our super cool and beautiful daughters, Quinn, Hailey, and Calie. Plus we can still travel together since our three Caddies fit into the car along with our luggage! We hope you love the products as much as we do!
