About White Pepper Ink

Hi, I'm Amanda Nicholson! I'm just a small town girl, firmly rooted in East Texas who loves Jesus and my family. I married my camp crush, TJ, in 2006 and graduated from Texas A&M with a degree in Elementary Education. I spend most of my days now homeschooling our 3 kiddos, watching them grow and play in our little corner of the countryside. I’m a bit of a shark fanatic, always down for adventure, and oh how I love to cozy up with a cup of coffee for a game night or movie marathon.

As far back as I can remember, I have lingered in appreciation of patterns, lines and colors and textures. I take in the world through aesthetics and I can easily get lost in creating.

White Pepper Ink was born following a devastating miscarriage in 2014, where I turned neon sticky notes of Bible verses around our home into scripted canvases to permanently hang on our walls. I was desperate for the Word of God to be in plain sight to be reminded of His promises. They were my lifeline. Over the next several years, I hand-scripted and sold hundreds of canvases through my little garage workshop. These canvases of Scripture and quotes are often straight from the pages of my journals.

A few years later, I began brainstorming ideas to produce tangible reminders of God’s Word in our home for our young children. I had so much fun crafting what eventually became known as the Jubilee Tree Collection. These year-round ornament sets have been so powerful in helping us teach God’s Word to our children, and they continue to be a sweet conversation piece between our family and anyone who steps into our home.

As my littles have become older and more independent, I have begun giving more attention to creating with paints and textures and color again. Whimsical and free or story-telling and deep, I love it all.

I hope you are inspired and make a connection in some way as you tour my little art studio! It is my joy to create and design art to infuse your home with beauty and conversation.

WHITE PEPPER INK - the name

I'm a homeschool mom, so of course I love essential oils, right? I can't do sourdough, but I do love the oils and I was inspired by the process and use of White Pepper Oil.

White Pepper is made from fully ripe pepper berries that are stripped completely of their outside layer, leaving only the seed. This crushing and refining is not without purpose. The maturity of the seed produces a more mild, earthy, and rich taste.  White Pepper Essential Oil holistically reduces pain and brings about soothing comfort and relief to the body and mind.

The heart of White Pepper Ink.
