Wellon Bridgers studied English and French at Auburn University and received her Masters in English at Wake Forest University. She taught for several years in the high school and university setting and has worked closely with service learning programs. During this time, she discovered a love for painting and continues to explore new techniques and styles.  Wellon and her husband Stephen work together at Restoration Academy, an urban Christian school in Fairfield, Alabama. They are also advocates for Mwana Villages, a grassroots organization supporting orphans and vulnerable families in the Republic of Congo. They have four (playful, creative, determined and spunky) children: Fitz, Chloe, Daniel and Leila.
