Leta Faye (Barbee) Touchstone, at 105 years old, continues to be a vibrant source of inspiration and creativity. Born at home on a county road in Noodle, Texas as Leta Faye Barbee. Her journey is a testament to the power of passion and perseverance. Throughout her teenage years, her father took her to rodeos each weekend where she competed as a barrel racer and won many honors.

She later married her husband, J.E. Touchstone, and their youthful romance and enduring love have been captured in cherished photographs, reflecting the deep connection they shared.


Leta's journey as an artist began in Anson, Texas, where she started painting at a local gallery. Even as a young girl, Christi was deeply influenced by her mother's creativity and passion for the arts, which flourished in the small-town environment.

Leta's early works focused on landscapes and flowers, capturing the beauty of her surroundings, and bringing them to life on canvas.

Her love for bright colors and her ability to paint from her wheelchair have made her a beloved figure in the art community.

Leta has been a Christian inspiration not only to her daughter, Christi, and her son, Terry, but also to Christi's husband, M.L., her amazing caregivers, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. M.L. has been one of her biggest fans, and their mutual love and admiration have been a source of strength and joy for both of them. Her attitude supersedes anyone they have ever known, and all realize that her positive outlook is what has allowed her to live to be 105 and enjoy every day because she truly does.

Leta often says,

"A little Powder and Paint
Make a Gal
What She Ain't,"

embodying her spirited and positive
outlook on life.

Today, Leta's paintings adorn the labels and boxes of Christ's new haircare line, a collection of six products. Each piece of art not only beautifies the packaging but also carries the essence of Leta's creativity and the warmth of her spirit. Her artwork on these products serves as a daily reminder of her legacy and the inspiration she continues to provide.

Living in the same high-rise, directly down the hall from Christi and M.L., Leta remains a central figure in Christi's and M.L.'s life and others. Her influence has shaped Christi's own creative journey, and her paintings are now a proud feature of the brand, adding a personal and heartfelt touch to the products. Leta has also faithfully used all of Christi's products, and each night she tells her caregivers as she cleans her face,

"This is the Best Stuff, Ever!"
