Welcome to Babes in HART! Let's say we just met at a dinner party...how would you introduce yourself?

Hey! I’m Lulie! I’ve got three precious girls ages nine, seven, and five that all have about ten nicknames. I’ve been married to my sweet husband for fifteen years and he has been such a balancing force and constant for me! I love my little family very much!

You describe painting as a privilege. What's a studio day like for you?

Painting and my work place (most days) is truly a place I am charged and feel energized to think creatively, whether that is about business or art! It is a true privilege to paint and I see it as a gift that I get to go into my painting space and make art.

You're a mother of three daughters along with being an artist - how has motherhood shaped your work and/or creative process?

I think it’s totally changed my idea of working and work ethic…for the better! Being a mom lets me go home and remember work is JUST work…that there is so much more. I love the balance of both. 

Mother's Day is coming up, and we are always in awe of moms doing things in AND out of the playroom. You have three children and a blossoming business. How do you see yourself as more than a mom?

I mean I’m a mama, a wife, a friend, a daughter, a driver, a cook…so many roles and I personally find a lot of peace in my faith that truly keeps me grounded in these areas. Not that I have it figured out…I’m limited, imperfect, have my bad days, lose my patience, but I feel like my faith in Jesus is a huge part that gives me the grace and confidence in these multifaceted areas!

If you could give your children advice as they grow up and look to find their own passions, what would you tell them?

That’s a good and tough one…maybe it’s that you are loved…a complex question with a simple answer that I just hope they know whatever they go out and do, that they are loved!
