Etsy Shop Reopening

I recently took an online art business class, after taking a hiatus from my shop, and it really enhanced my idea of what my art is all about. It gave me that aha! moment I really needed. The assignment to tell what our personal creativity story was what really sparked my imagination. That got rid of some of the clutter in my brain and showed me where my focus should be at in my art and it gave me the inspiration to fill my shop with more consistent pieces!


You can see my somewhat full-er story on my etsy about page. (*will open a new window )

For me the most important sources of inspiration can fall into two categories: my love of hippy art and the shapes and colors and patterns that exist there and my love of my Irish heritage, specifically the lore and rustic feelings I get from there.
Fun fact: I did my humanities paper on the Druids, an ancient tribe of peoples that were native to many Celtic lands and were very secretive but still written about in various accounts from rulers, such as the Greeks and Romans. They were portrayed as savages but due to the secrecy that may just be alleged or even just old wives' tales. The tales of sorcery always fascinate me, because in those times there were a lot of superstitions.


But anywho, I recently reopened my etsy shop and this blog will be a log of my inspirations. I narrowed down my items to include mostly paintings, but I still have a penchant for crafts so that will also be included.
