Inspirational by Design. Courageous by Nature.

Some hand-painted earring holders do more than organize your jewelry — they set the tone for your whole day. The Brave Wings is one of them. The beloved quote “With Brave Wings She Flies” is hand-painted across the fiberglass screen, surrounded by cheerful butterflies and blooms that spill onto the white distressed frame, creating a piece that is equal parts functional art and daily inspiration.

Put it on your dresser and you’ll read it every morning. Give it to someone you love and it will mean something every single day.

The Art Behind the Design

Every Brave Wings is painted entirely by hand in our Michigan studio by artist Barbara Downey, using a process she has refined over nearly 30 years. The technique is entirely our own — part American folk art tradition, part closely guarded studio secret. What begins as a blank screen becomes something you’ll want to look at every single day.

The butterfly and floral border extends from the screen onto the solid wood frame itself — painted as one continuous composition so the warmth and color don’t stop at the edge. No two pieces are ever quite identical. That’s not a flaw — that’s the point.

The Frame

The white distressed finish gives the Brave Wings a soft, clean quality that feels both timeless and celebratory — the perfect backdrop for an inspirational message. Applied by hand in our Michigan studio, the worn edges reveal warm wood beneath, giving each frame its own gentle character. It pairs beautifully with light, airy spaces and coordinates naturally with almost any décor.
