Hi, I'm Erica
I'm a mom of three young children. My faith has carried me through both the beautiful and the difficult times of my life, and I seek to create beautiful things that are tiny reminders of God's presence in our every day.
Be A Heart started with a phrase I learned while volunteering in Brazil: be a heart, nothing but a heart. I draw every design by hand, and I'm always thinking of ways to pass down the rich traditions of our Church to my children.
Thank you for being here.
