 How Sprouting Expressions came to be:

  My name is Kerry and I am the owner of Sprouting Expressions. Like most people, 2020 was a life changing year for me. I was working for a large department store as the Assistant Store Manager when we had to close the store and break the news to over 100 employees. The management team continued working everyday filling online orders. Our daily goal was to hit at least 1000 units of merchandise shipped from our store and we stayed no matter how long that took. We were on our feet for over 12 hours each day and after a couple months of that I started having some serious knee pain, especially when climbing the escalator which was shut off to conserve electricity. I tried a few different things to relieve the daily pain and eventually made the difficult decision to have both knees replaced. I was convinced that I would bounce back and be better than ever, unfortunately, it was a much longer recovery than I had expected, and is still a work in progress...…and the never ending pandemic continued.....unable to go back to a job that I loved, I started to take care of my new granddaughter (who is the new love of my life) and like any normal person, I bought a 40w CO2 laser.

I actually started working with wood at a young age, my Grandmother and I went to weekly wood burning classes and we made beautiful wood burned plaques and clocks. My interest in creating did not stop with woodworking, I also enjoy quilting, scrapbooking, working with leather and resin, pretty much anything crafty! I also like to mix mediums together. After watching WAY too many Youtube videos, I learned to use a vector graphics editor to design projects for the laser and experimented with many different kinds of wood, paint and varnishes until I had a product that I was proud of! I am fortunate to live in the beautiful Lowcountry of South Carolina and many of my pieces are inspired by my love of this coastal community, and my obsession with earrings is also pretty obvious in my shop :)
