Bringing Light and Life through Beauty and Creativity
Lillian Art Gallery was established in the spring of 2025, but its story began long before that - in quiet prayers, creative seeds, and a small-town building full of history.
Previously known as Harmony 101 Art Gallery & Studio, the gallery was founded by Amanda Kiser with a vision for beauty, community, and faith. When Amanda began sensing the Lord calling her into a new season with her family, she started praying for the right person to take over the gallery. Through a series of conversations, confirmations, and moments that could only be described as God-led, we both knew: it was time to pass the torch.
As of March 2025, ownership of the gallery has been transferred from Amanda to me, Anna Austin. It still feels surreal, but from the very first moment I stepped into this space, I’ve experienced nothing but divine appointment after divine appointment.
Why "Lillian"?
The new name, Lillian Art Gallery, carries a story all its own.
The day before Amanda asked me to consider taking over the gallery, I had just bought 30 pounds of flower seeds to plant in the two-acre field behind our farmhouse. I wasn't sure exactly what I'd do with them-maybe a U-pick flower field, maybe a roadside stand-but I knew I was supposed to start planting beauty.
Later, as my husband Mark and I researched the history of the gallery building, we learned it was originally constructed in 1919 and served as the doctor’s office for Dr. Charles P. Marsh. But what caught our attention was his wife: Mrs. Lillian Marsh.
A tribute written in her honor described her as an artist and said “Her medium was flowers.”
The tribute continued to describe her unerring sense of color harmony, her high standards of excellence, and her unfailing willingness to help others grow in their appreciation of the fine arts of gardening and flower arranging. Those words echoed everything Amanda and I both value. It felt like a confirmation from heaven.

About the Owner: Anna Austin
I’m a singer-songwriter, entrepreneur, homeschool mom, and creative who’s been writing music and leading worship since I was a young girl growing up in Oregon. My path hasn’t been traditional. I became a mother at 18, married my husband Mark, and have spent the last nearly 20 years raising our four children, serving in our local church, and writing songs in quiet sanctuaries.
In 2021, we took a leap of faith and moved to a beautiful farm outside of Nashville, Tennessee. I’ve been quietly creating ever since - through music, homeschooling, homemaking, and dreaming about fields of flowers. We sell lots of chicken, eggs, and other livestock (check out our True Blue Farm website) and enjoy our slice of heaven!
Now, God has opened a new door. One that combines art, worship, music, community, and nature - all under one roof.
