Art has always been a large part of my life. For as long as I can remember, I have been creating art in any form I could. I always drew as a child, and as a result of support from my family, I gradually developed more skill and confidence as I got older. I also found that art was something that was very special to me. No one else could draw, paint, or create art exactly like I could. Art helped me become who I am today. Art also helped me throughout my life to express myself and to find outlets for my emotions and ideas. It has brought joy and color to my life. I can honestly say without art, my life would be empty.
After 10 years of teaching art, I now find myself wanting something more. Don't get me wrong, I still love teaching art but there is just something missing. For as long as I can remember my DREAM has been to have my own "Craft/Art Store". I just want to be able to help support my family by creating. I love to create just about anything from hand painted pottery, invitations, personalized paintings/drawings. You name it- I love it! Problem is.... I'm an Artist. Everyone knows what that means... free spirit, laid back, and go with the flow are not words we tend to use when describing the business minded. So here I am stumped at a loss as to what to do with myself. I don't want to settle for less than my dreams. I want to be completely happy in what I do so that I can teach my children to do what ever it is that makes them happy when they grow up.
It is my hope that one day soon I will find the courage (and money:) to quit my job and open my first shoppe.
Until next time.... Thanks for reading.
