Memorable Gifts…Beautifully Functional

I’m Joanne Culbreth, and the Artist here at Happy Moose Garden Art.

For more than 16 years, I’ve been creating colorful, hand-painted pieces for people who are looking for something a little more personal. From pet memorials and garden art to gifts and special-event pieces, everything is painted by my own two hands.

I’ve always believed that ordering something handmade should feel personal too. I love working closely with my customers to make each piece just right, from the painting and personalization all the way down to the packaging (there’s artwork on that too!)

Pet memorials hold an especially meaningful place here. Each one is truly a labor of love, created to honor a much-loved member of the family in a way that can be planted, used, and enjoyed.

Come on in and enjoy!

In 2023 I had the honor of being featured in my favorite magazine, Where Women Create. This was a big dream of mine and I’m thrilled to have been a part of a publication that has been inspiring me for years!

In the Garden…

We love plants around here, and our back yard is a non-manicured mishmash of ‘pretty’!
