The Name
Behind
Creating art is a distinct part of what it means to be human. When people invest in their creative growth, it is a sign they are thriving. When we were looking to name our business, we wanted a name that captured this thought and were drawn to the Psalms and its images of cedar trees and sheltering under God’s wings. Being rooted in things that give us life lifts us up and those around us to enable us to soar.
