Hi team members. Let's all introduce ourselves and our art.

I'm Aimee and I draw with Sharpie markers. My pieces are 18"x24" and I turn them I to prints, cards, and tiny wood blocks. I wholesale my cards to stores. I make jewelry for fun it used to be my day job and I got a little burned out, but if something strikes my imagination I will go down to my jewelry bench and play.

I'm Kara and I make custom wedding cakes for my day job. After 16 years of that I hate white roses. I used to do a lot of drawing, painting, photography, quilting, knitting etc, but I don't have as much free time to do fun artwork these days. I might do a cake of the week and throw in some 2D stuff too. I got photoshop recently and have been trying to learn how to use it more effectively.

My name's Erin. I work as a research doctor during the day (and sneak on here) and run my art business in the rest of my time. I mostly sell photographs and prints, so that's what I make most of the time. Hopefully I can start drawing again

Hello Everyone! I'm Colleen and I live in Florida but am originally from the Catskill Mountains in New York. I have a lot of photography that I sell on here now but I am trying to get more of my paintings and wood etching onto my site. I try to make a little progress each day on old and new pieces that I work on.

Hi guys,
I'm a graphic designer and came onto Etsy because I've always wanted to sell here but never did LOL. I started offering linocuts which is so much fun...

Right before the holidays I added gift tags and stationery (which I really DID NOT want to do because I wanted to keep the graphic design side out and have ONLY non-digital art in the shop)... but then I started selling. So now I'm thinking hmmm maybe I should make prints out of all the digital illustrations I've already done for my greeting cards.

Trying to apply the "work smarter, not harder" philosophy :)

Hi everyone! I'm Samantha. I'm currently a manager at a Wal-mart store... It gets super stressful so I paint and it takes my mind off of things. I will be pursuing my MBA starting next fall... It'll be a great change for me. Also a good opportunity to identify new things to paint. I actually never thought I could sell my paintings, but etsy proved me wrong. Hopefully I can make it more than just a hobby!

Hi! I'm Sandra a stay at home mom of a very energetic 4 year old girl. I have mostly focused on jewelry making and selling over the last few years, and also some other fun crafts. I am finally starting to get back to work on 2D pieces and mixed media work (my favorite). My goal is to become successful enough with my Etsy shops to call Art my career and not only my passion :)
