Welcome to Woodsmoke and Willow - My Mission
This week, I am celebrating three years in business as a handmade artist.
Of course, I have been an artist all my life, but three years ago I started down a road I had never ventured down before, and was actually quite afraid to try. Even through uncertain expectations, I had high hopes and so — I took a chance and started selling my work online.
Over the last three years, as I have refined my style and learned what I love to create, I have come to understand what my work is really about. I have a sense of how my work can make this world better in some small way.
