Welcome to my little company I call “Love to Create.”
Here are a few things you may be wondering about me (in Q&A format):
~How did I get started?
I have always been “crafty” and took art classes in high school, and then college. I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to do with my art when I was younger, but it eventually evolved into a Graphic Design degree with a Studio Art minor. My fulltime job is as Production Coordinator for a local newspaper - The Arlington Catholic Herald.
~Why do I continue?
I love to create things (the name of my company - I thought it fit me) and try new projects.
~What’s new?
This season I will be offering matted Photographs and greeting cards of all different subjects (DC, Flowers, landscapes, Capitals Hockey, etc.), and I will still be doing some of my handpainted wood picture frames.
~Why do I make/create what I do?
I love the feeling of taking a photo, painting a frame or creating a piece of pottery or jewelry and stepping back and saying “wow, I did that!”
~What is one thing I love about my business?
The creativity it requires and when I freelance, I can control what types of projects I take on, and that they can vary widely. I also love when people are excited about a purchase from me, be it a photo or a logo design.
~What is next?
I am starting on a year to 18-month course to get my Associates Degree in Photography.
