Our Story

Hope met Mickey Cline in 2019 when they both attended a Steve Ross class. Like Hope, Mickey is a Certified Ross Instructor, but she has continued expanding far beyond a single method by learning from many different teachers and blending those experiences into her own work. Their friendship has grown through years of painting and travel together, including trips to Tennessee, England, and Oklahoma. Mickey is both a creative influence and a treasured part of Hope’s painting adventures.
