My Story

About Me

Hi, I'm Tynea, the artist behind Wonder & Wander Designs.

Each piece you’ll find here is lovingly hand painted using watercolor—no prints, no reproductions. Every greeting card and hymnal artwork is one-of-a-kind, created with care, intention, and a deep appreciation for the beauty in small details.

I’ve always loved history and the charm of old books—there’s something sacred about holding a page that’s been part of someone else's story. That’s one reason I’m especially drawn to painting on vintage hymnal pages. These timeless songs of faith carry stories, comfort, and truth. By layering watercolor over them, I hope to honor their history while giving them new life—turning something once tucked away into a piece that can be seen and cherished again.

The name Wonder & Wander Designs was inspired by my youngest daughter, who was just six when I began this journey. She’s a beautiful free spirit—full of curiosity, always asking questions about the world, and endlessly captivated by the smallest of wonders. She walks to the beat of her own drum, unafraid to wander down paths others might overlook. Watching her taught me to slow down, to notice, and to create with wonder in my heart.

This little business was born out of that same spirit—to create with purpose and share artwork that sparks joy, reflection, and connection. I hope my work brings a little extra light to your home, your heart, or the hands of someone you love.

Thank you for supporting handmade and choosing art that’s truly one of a kind.

I feel incredibly blessed to have my artwork available in a few wonderful shops across Lancaster County, PA. You can find a variety of my original hymn paintings and hand-painted watercolor cards at Buttons & Burlap in New Holland, as well as both locations of Artisan Mill Co. in Lancaster and Lititz. I’m so grateful to be part of these creative, small business communities—thank you for supporting local makers and shopping small!
