Lauren Neville is a Christenberry Collection artist who loves color and unique details for her paintings. This month we are highlighting Lauren and sharing her take on art, inspiration, and upcoming summer collaborations.

Celebrating Mother's Day is never quite enough. How can one single day show what our mom means to us?! Moms deserve a private island filled with wonderful flowers and endless chocolate by the sea. Islands, however, are not always in our budget.

What if we didn't have to break the bank for a Mother's Day gift that reminds mom why we are the favorite child?! What if we could be the favorite child every year and give a gift that will last a lifetime?
