About Lisa & Naomi
We are two sisters and storytellers at heart.
We’ve been creating together for as long as we can remember — games, stories, sketches, crafts, anything our imaginations could shape into a little world of its own. Over the years those childhood adventures simply grew with us. What began as make-believe turned into writing books side by side, painting and illustrating, designing, dreaming, and building the little studio life behind this blog.
Behind every story we tell — in words, in art, and in the life we live behind the scenes — we are still those same creative girls, passing ideas back and forth, seeing where they lead, and making something we hope will matter to someone out there.
We believe story is everywhere: in colour palettes, in imagined worlds, in cups of tea at the studio table, in quiet moments of faith, in the courage it takes to keep going, and in the small everyday sparks that shape who we are.
This blog is where all of that comes together —
a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the stories we make, the art we create,
and the moments that continue to shape us.
MORE ABOUT THIS BLOG: Behind the Scenes
If you’ve found your way here, welcome.
This is our behind-the-scenes journal — the place where the stories, art, ideas, and moments behind our creative life come together.
It’s part writing desk, part art studio, part journal, and part open door into the friendship and creative partnership we’ve built over two decades of making things together. At heart, we are storytellers — in words, in paint, and in the small everyday sparks that shape us.
Here, you’ll find the whole tapestry: our processes, our products, our lessons learned, and the things we hope will inspire your own creativity.
Below are the five threads that shape this space — the strands of our creative world.
⭐ Behind the Books
Where stories begin.
Writing, imagination, character-making, creative struggle, inspiration, worldbuilding, and the moments behind our novels. A look inside the storyteller’s life — the scenes, dreams, drafts, and discoveries that shape our books.
⭐ Behind the Art
Illustration, painting, photography, design, colour, symbolism, process, and the quiet visual language we use to tell stories without words. The ideas behind our artwork — and the hands-on making of it.
⭐ Behind the Studio
Our shared creative life.
Partnership moments, inside jokes, challenges, reflections, faith, behind-the-scenes glimpses, the van-studio, the house build, the virtual office, and the real-life stories that shape us as sisters and collaborators.
⭐ Behind the Products
The notebooks, cards, prints, colouring books, and collections we create.
The ideas behind them, the artwork that inspired them, the design choices, the production journey, and the quiet process that brings them into the world.
⭐ Behind a Creative Life
Inspiration and guidance for your creative journey.
Writing tips, art advice, mindset reflections, style development, creative courage, lessons from our own journey, and stories of other creators. Posts designed to help you grow, imagine, create, and thrive.
This is the place where creativity is shared generously — so you leave with something to spark your own ideas.
✨ What to Expect
We try to post when we have something meaningful to share — sometimes weekly, sometimes monthly, sometimes when life hands us a story we can’t keep to ourselves.
Subscribers often get little extras:
a quiet note from us, behind-the-scenes updates, creative thoughts, sneak peeks, or early glimpses of what’s coming next.
If you stay awhile, we hope you’ll find something that inspires you — to create, to imagine, to think, to hope, or simply to enjoy the small story-moments woven between art and life.
Welcome to our creative world.
We’re glad you’re here.
