I’m a 29-year-old artist from the mountains of western Maine, I live in a funky apartment in a 180 year old house over an art gallery. My loyal, and not too helpful, assistant is a black and tan coonhound named Daisy.
I come from a creative family, as a kid I would spend hours watching my grandfather work in his shop. He would turn a pile of plain leather into the most beautiful, intricately tooled, saddles. He and my mom (who inspired by love of learning and has supported me in everything I’ve done) have been the biggest influences on my life.
Most of my writing comes out of my experiences with creating my sculpture and jewelry and then turning it into a business. I started Noadi's Art as a serious business in 2008 after a couple years creating and selling at local craft shows. The internet, and Etsy in particular, have allowed me to sell my work to a much larger audience both in the US and internationally as well as becoming fully self-employed. I haven't had any boss to asnwer to, other than myself, for the last 3 years.
