Make a living as an artist and having an art business has required Stephanie to “wear many hats.” The demands of her small business are never ending. A lot of other paths in life would have been easier, but it is what she loves and needs to do. She feels very fortunate to have her health and ability, her wonderful customers, and her husband, Keith, to do whatever she has to do to make a living as an artist.
