My art career started at 5 when I began selling painted rocks around my neighborhood in small town Montana. From there my art was featured on t-shirts, calendars, and various art pieces. Still being the artist/entrepreneur I was as a child, I quit my job in 2014 to focus on selling my art full-time. I moved back to Seattle and became a vendor at Pike Place Market. My business is unique because my hands are in every step of the process. I don’t have employees, so every item produced is made solely by me. I put my heart into everything I do and I hope it shows.Ventures has helped my business by giving me the resources and business training I need to be successful. Without their help,I would not be where I am today.
