I began Artful Market as I was getting a divorce and needed something to help me support my children. I have been an artist all of my life. I made jewelry from the time I was very young, even selling it way back then. When I started Artful Market I saw a need for supplies for jewelry makers that no one else including the big chain stores had in stock. I have always had a knack for knowing the next trend and I saw that vintage style was going to be big. I found some unusual findings and began putting them on the site. The things I found were bought up almost instantly. I knew I had found something artists were looking for. Artful Market grew almost faster then I could keep up with. It was such a blessing. It allowed me to stay home and take care of my children and support them as well. My boys are grown now and I feel fortunate to have found something that helped to sustain us throughout the years.

I love being able to supply artists all over the world with the things they want. I feel fortunate to be able to make a living doing what I love, in my own way.
