| when did you first know that you wanted to pursue this as a career or when were you first drawn to art? |
| | For as long as I can remember it has always just been a source of true enjoyment and even relaxation. I honestly never thought I’d make my living creating and selling my art and especially doing so online. |
| |
| Is anyone else in your family an artist? |
| | The only artistic person in my family was my Grandmother on my dad’s side. She never earned a living from it, but she loved it and spent a lot of her spare time drawing and painting. I remember being a small child and seeing her works and wishing that one day I would be as good as her. So even while her works were realistic and not abstract, I think she did have a great influence on me in regards to creating art simply for the love of it. |

| When and how do you know when one of your works is finished? Is it just a feeling? |
| | I know immediately when a work is finished… it’s a gut feeling, I just know. |
| |
| What is one of the most important lessons you learned about selling online that you could share with your fellow artists? |
| | There are so many important lessons I’ve learned about selling online. I’d have to say however that one of the best lessons I’ve learned about selling online is that you have no business if you have no traffic. Selling art online is like selling anything else online and without traffic you simply won’t have sales. |
