Welcome to my creative adventure. This is where I make art, create, and talk about whatever I’ve learned along the way.
I started making soap because I got really tired of having dry skin every time I got out of the shower. I spent a lot of time experimenting, marketing my brand, and allowing people to get to know me. Then I rediscovered my passion for artwork through making ACEOs, which are Art Cards, Editions, and Originals.
These little trading cards are such a wonderful way to share and express art, and they’ve given me a doorway to figure out how to market my business. I started selling them on eBay in July, and now I’ve been getting consistent bids every week. I’ve been selling 5 to 10 ACEOs a week.
This is something I never thought would happen. I never thought as a young artist I could actually sell my work. It wasn’t that I thought I wasn’t good enough. It’s just that the market was so hard to get into, especially at a young age. But with this new format, it allows so many young artists to practice and get better at their craft while also learning the business side of art.
I still really love making soap. I love connecting with people about it and getting creative with colors and scents. Honestly, as long as I’m doing anything with my hands, I am happy.
But the most important thing I think I’ve learned throughout this is how I connect with other people. This journey has really helped me come out of my shell and get to know people in my local community and online globally.
We have such a wonderful thing at our fingertips, and I want to make the most of it by connecting with others.
So welcome to my creative journey. I’m so glad that you’re here, and I’m so grateful for all the support that I’ve received since starting.
I really just want my daughter to grow up knowing that it is possible to work for yourself and start from nothing.
