Years in Business: I have been a freelance artist in one form or another for 30 years. I have been a freelance illustrator for about 8 years.
A little info:
I am a freelance illustrator living in Atlanta Georgia. My designs are primarily used for the gift and tabletop industry. Typically, I work in watercolor and collage and enjoy incorporating fabric, stitched paper and found objects in my art.

QUESTION: Do you have a business mentor? What value does that offer to your experiences as a business owner?
Paula's ANSWER:
Funny you should ask…….as of a few weeks ago, yes. I felt like I was hitting a wall and needed a shot in the arm. I do my best work when I am directed and I hadn’t been getting much of that lately. I found a mentor through a friend and it’s been really great having someone help me with some of the things I have been struggling with in my business.
It’s always good to see your business through the eyes of someone who has been there and done that.
Current Projects: "Currently I am working on a series of collage pieces that will make their way to my etsy handmade shop."
