Welcome to The Achy Artist

I’m Angelia Hayes, a Southern storyteller and digital designer rooted in rural Tennessee. 

From whimsical patterns to heartfelt gifts, everything I create is stitched with charm, comfort, and a touch of humor. I believe in celebrating small joys, cozy routines, and the beauty of everyday life. Now I’m sharing those stories through short animated videos and porch‑talk character clips that bring my world to life. Whether you’re browsing for inspiration or just stopping by for a warm hello, I’m so glad you’re here.

Pull up a chair and stay awhile. 

This little corner of the internet is where I share my art, my stories, and the everyday magic that inspires them. You’ll find cozy designs, heartfelt projects, and now a few animated porch‑talk moments with the critters who wander through my world. Whether you’re here to browse, smile, or settle in for a spell, you’re always welcome.
