Anything that stays still long enough in Hope Perkins's presence will most likely get paint on it! After majoring in painting at what is now called Texas State University in San Marcos and spending six months studying painting in France, she is now well known for her handpainted thrift-store finds.Hope says, "I am able to combine my favorite things in the world, fashion and painting, and voila!" You can find everything from handpainted purses with cobras on them to a skirt with Hall and Oates on it!
She also sells some of her handpainted purses on a website run by her sister (and fellow Stylelicious contributor), Jennifer Perkins.
