Art is Life
I've always been an artist and crafter, but when I discovered Etsy in 2010 I began thinking that I could take my passion to the next level. I have made wire jewelry for awhile now, but I decided I wanted to make something more unique and started to play with printing on leather. After months of trial and error, I came up with a great process to make my unique leather jewelry so I opened up shop in July 2012. Now, I work asa painter and mixed media artist. In college I studied art and history, and I am a complete Anglophile which you will see reflected in my designs! Combining my love of books and art into my work is something I love to do and I hope that I can continue this for many years to come!
"When you buy from an independent artist you are buying more than just a painting or a novel or a song. You are buying hundreds of hours of experimentation and thousands of failures. You are buying days, weeks, months, years of frustration and moments of pure joy. You are buying nights of worry about paying the rent, having enough money to eat, having enough money to feed the children, the birds, the dogs. You aren't just buying a THING, you are buying a piece of heart, a part of soul, a private moment in someone's life. Most important you are buying that artist more time to do something they are truly passionate about: something that makes all of the above worth the fear and all the doubt: something that puts the life into the living"
