Business Matters

 

It's been a while since I last wrote a blog post.  So, I thought remind my readers and tell my readers, who I am and a little about my business. 

My micro-business combines my passions, creative writing and publishing; visual art, I love working with a number of different mediums and advocacy.   

As an artist I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and skills with others; I enjoy teaching, making art with others, seeing others grow and using my artistic talent's to advocate for the needs and rights of disabled people.  I count myself as privilege being a person of white colour and well educated (not that any of that matters).  Although I only have a physical disability often people assume I have a intellectual disability or perhaps the just unsure of how to interact with someone with a speech disorder. My art has been exhibited in many galleries and art competitions.  Including Drawing Point Gallery - Arttime in Brisbane St Ipswich, Ipswich Community Gallery; Bonnah Regional Art Gallery, Greaser Gallery in Fortitude Vallery, Several exhibits with Art From the Margins, and Off The Wall Gallery in Newtown Sydney. 

One of the most important things about being in business.  If people don't know who I am, then their not going to buy my artwork. My professional memberships have included: Ipswich Arts Connect; Access Arts; Arts Access Australia; Aspire Gallery; Society of Women Writer, Queensland Writer's Center; Ipswich Women in Business and Creative Ipswich. and now . . .  Be Your Own Boss! Be your own boos, commence in 2020 and was to be a one event. Two years later, we're still meeting growing and sharing our skills.  BYOB is now a network of miro-business owners living with disabilities and we're ready to be joined by new business owners in 2023.  For more information you can contact the Ipswich or Gold Coasts Carer's Queensland Officers. 

Don't ask me for business advice, my brain is way to creative and full of ideas of things to create.  My goals is not to make money but be part of a vibrate creative arts & cultural community in Ipswich and see other people with disabilities reach the full potentials.  Employers have missed out on some pretty amazing talent, please continue to watch us grow as business owners and artists.

Current my hand painted or printed cards are available at Artsmith's Arttime and Dingley Dell Art Gallery has a selection of my work.
