Wait — who's Stella? Named after our cat and dog, Stella and Dorrie, longtime companions and emotional support specialists. So no, I'm not Stella. But I am the one doing the drawing, painting, packing, and making a glorious mess behind the scenes.

— Wait… who’s Stella?

Stella & Dorrie Studio is named after two beloved pets from our family’s menagerie:

Stella the cat and Dorrie the dog - longtime companions and emotional support specialists.

— So no, I’m not Stella. —

But I am the one doing the drawing, painting, packing... and making a glorious mess behind the scenes.

Who This Is For

This is for people whose world is loud and hard right now — which, some days, is everyone I know. If a small painting can be an anchor when things feel unsteady, that's what I'm making it for.

If that sounds like you, you're already in the right place.

The studio is growing - more offerings will come.  For now, you’re invited to make some tea, pull up a chair and explore the blog.
