Lauren S. Henry

With A Brush of Love Inc.



Lauren Henry is an experienced children’s educator and veteran of the Montgomery County, MD and Fairfax County, VA school systems. She specializes in the educational and emotional needs of children aged pre-kindergarten through sixth grade, as well as those with special needs. Lauren graduated from Syracuse University’s S.I. Newhouse School of Communications with a degree in Musical Theatre/Drama and a minor in TV, Radio & Film Production.



In addition to Lauren’s interests in education and theatre, she also has a background in child psychology and creating original art. This background uniquely qualified her to create With a Brush of Love. Lauren researched the effects of color on emotion, and interviewed psychologists who specialize in the field of study. For Lauren, the opportunity to combine the unique fun of original designs with behavior management through color was an exciting idea. How powerful to support the emotional needs of a child in his or her own environment!

Sheri Varela

Sheri Baby provides inspiration, motivation, and encouragement with positive messages imprinted on tshirts that we design and offer. The t-shirt idea was born when I had a need to lift my own spirits. I ran to my closet, grabbed some t-shirts (which are my favorite comfort clothing items) and wrote myself some positive messages directly on the tees. I wore the tees daily, slept in them; and soon I noticed that the messages were having the right impact on my mindset. It was then that I had to make this my business: the business of lifting spirits with an inspirational message on great tees.
