About Us

My Purple Paintbrush is the result of a collage of ideas, experiences and dreams. It is the re-birth of a children's party/personalizing store that started 21 years ago as a franchise - The Elephant's Trunk. I started working there as an artist in 2004 and purchased the store in 2007 from the original owners. That store has evolved into this internet "store".

My background is mainly in interior design, having graduated from the University of Rhode Island and Paier College of Art, studying both Textiles and Clothing and Interior Design. My dream has always been to have a unique shop of my own using my creative energies.

My Purple Paintbrush is the result, which allows me to be both a Mom to my two children, and also supply quality hand painted gifts to you. Gifts that you can be proud to give because of their uniqueness, quality, and personality. Personalized gifts require personal attention - as always, phone calls and emails are welcomed!

Sincerely,
Karen
