My background is in fine arts and funny enough, pharmacy. I hated working in a pharmacy so I just didn’t go back after my maternity leave with my 3 year old son. I love art so this is very cathartic for me. I can get absorbed in the artistic details for hours and not even stop for a break.
My mom always told me to be happy in life and that life was too short, and literally just as I was starting my business in 2011 she was diagnosed with cancer and passed away a few month later at 54. I feel like me making this business from scratch and just loving it to death (even when there are a few parts I don’t necessarily like) just helps her legacy of living a full happy life live on. Being able to make others just as happy in the process is just an added bonus.
