How did your business come to exist?
My business came to exist by just putting myself out there. I started painting about 15 years ago and started selling my work 3 years ago. I have been selling my artwork ever since. I love using art as a way to connect with people and causes.
What is your favorite part of your job?
My favorite part of the job is that I can connect with people in my city with a creatively curated business where people love to work. I have been able to find so much joy in meeting new people through connecting over art and music. It brings joy and encouragement to others and sometimes gets to be for a great cause too!
Where do you find inspiration?
I find inspiration in the outdoors and my experience growing up here in Colorado. Every colorful sunrise and sunset has influenced me. There's so much to love about and do here in our beautiful state, there's no chance I'll run out of inspiration.
What are you known for?
I am known for my large abstract and landscape paintings of the colorful skies in Colorado as a female artist in Denver.
What are you working on right now?
New work and a bunch of commissions for 2024. Books are still open and I'd love to make something special for your home or office!
What are your thoughts about your city’s creative scene for artist, designers, crafters, makers and/or small businesses?
I have found that Denver has been a place where creatives can flourish. It's hard to put ourselves out there but also ample opportunity to make something of yourself. I love that about Denver, and I love that about our country. I'm a new small business, but I'm learning that people are for you and not against you in business. I can't wait to see what's next! I hope you'll follow along...
