Our business dreams began one day in a small one-bedroom apartment in Essaouira, morocco in 2019. After living and working overseas for a number of years, the art that we so dearly loved to make continued to be only a side hobby
We wanted a way to share our art with the world we so deeply love. To bring beauty everywhere we go and to leave a piece of the beauty behind to inspire others to do the same.
Tervuren Forest, Belgium
The Burrs met one hot summer several years ago in Brussels, Belgium. They quickly fell in love on a picnic in a beautiful forest. Several months later they were engaged and then married in that same forest. Trees, nature, different nations and love are the passions that drive their creativity.
