Framed started 8 years ago. I was at my parent’s house for the weekend with my 5 & 7 year-olds. If I could just make it to their house, I knew I could get a break from most of my Mom duties. Grandma steps in, and it’s like I don’t exist. I kind of love it. It allowed me to really think about big picture things in my life. I mean, you aren’t fixing snacks and cleaning up after your kids all day, you have an opportunity to dream.
I’d been working at a local art studio for a year now. I was teaching painting classes 3 nights a week, running the studio’s daily operations, and managing most of the social media. I loved it. I loved it SO much!
I had stepped away from my Fortune 500 company a year before, completely terrified of making this art thing work, but things were going great. Over the last year, I taught classes on canvas. These classes were packed every night, and the ladies had so much fun.
