Hi, I'm Emile.
Founder/CEO
Wildflower Art Studio has evolved into a Creative Community that continues to be an incredible source of inspiration in my own life. My entrepreneurship journey began with my first handmade greeting card “company” in 4th grade. I am forever passionate about sharing the healing Magic of Creativity.
My own artwork is inspired by everyday beauty. While a brief period of my life was spent chasing grand adventure (living on a sailboat in the Caribbean, working as an island-sitter in the Bahamas), I find that the real magic happens in the seemingly mundane. Finding wonder in nature. Watching a sunrise. Sculpting a ball of clay into a work of art.
When I’m not at the studio, I can be found hanging with my family… which includes 3 wild & wonderful little adventurers, 1 husband/self-proclaimed “studio intern”, 8 chickens, 2 goats, 1 cat, 1 dog, 2 ducks and whatever other creatures find their way to our tiny little farm.
Our first DIY Kit launched in 2013. As our products made it to the top of Amazon’s Best Seller list a year later, our team expanded and we eventually packaged over 10,000 DIY Kits in my home-- first taking over the dining room, the garage, then basically the entire house. When the UPS man brings your 3 year-old son his own tiny UPS uniform for Christmas, you know the "home business" thing has gone a bit too far.
In 2017, our little studio was named “A pioneer in the DIY Industry” by Where Women Create Magazine. Our first Brick & Mortar opened. We expanded the DIY Kit line to include Hand Lettering, Watercolor & Brush Calligraphy. To date, we've shipped over 70,000 DIY Kits across the globe.
Over the past 10 years, Workshops, Retreats, Kids Classes & Camps have continued to grow with the addition of new team members and a larger studio space. It’s such a privilege to be a part of your creative journey. Thanks for loving Wildflower Art Studio. For sharing Creativity with yourselves, your families, your communities.
Meet Bailey.
Studio Director
Bailey has been an integral part of Wildflower Art Studio since the early days. In addition to launching our popular DIY Kits, she helped develop our Kids Art Classes & Summer Art Camp programs. Bailey’s organizational wizardry and various leadership roles over the years have contributed to the top-notch reputation that Wildflower Art Studio is known for.
Bailey especially loves those breakthrough moments when our little artists realize how brave, creative & unique they are. As an artist herself, she is inspired by her furry creatures: Junebug & Chief (dog besties), Little Bit, Mr. Fluffles & Rusty (the cutest kitties you’ve ever seen) + a horse or two here and there…
Meet Cassie.
Little Makers Lead Art Instructor & Program Coordinator
Bringing a decade of experience in the art classroom, Cassie is also an award-winning artist with exhibitions all across the globe. You can probably find Cassie knitting or eating tacos near the Denton square when she isn't teaching or adventuring.
It's truly an incredible opportunity for our Little Makers to learn from such an inspiring artist. We are so excited to share the FUN new projects she has planned (rumor has it there will be CLAY).
Meet Lauren.
Studio Manager • Clay Pottery Instructor
Lauren is our resident clay pottery guru and she also keeps the studio running like the well-oiled machine that it is! We love watching her work that administrative MAGIC. From handling event bookings to coordinating all the behind-the-scenes logistics of our Little Makers Programs, we all have wild admiration for Lauren’s gorgeous artwork AND her organizational superpowers.
Lauren’s first job was at an art studio so she’s excited to come full-circle- sharing her love of art and creativity! She hopes to inspire the understanding that anyone can be an artist, even if you don’t work in a creative field or consider yourself to be artistic.
Meet Kate.

With a deep passion for art & creativity, Kate has been a MAGICAL addition to the wildflower team. From coordinating unforgettable art camps to top-notch adult creative workshops, we’re continually inspired by all that she brings to the studio.
