"I use photography as my artistic outlet, and I really enjoy showing everyone how I see the world around us. Through my art I try to find unseen beauty and elegance in the ordinary and pedestrian. I have been told that I see the world with an eye of hope, I think that was the best compliment I have ever recieved."
What motivated you to open your shop?The constant nagging by my friends to do something with my photography. I have been taking photos since I was a teenager, many moons ago, but never tried to sell it. I feel that Etsy a great place to start selling it.
How did you select your name?
I wanted something unique and memorable, at the time we had six cats, so I thought it was a clever name.
What makes your shop unique?
Well, I like to think that my images have a style that is distinctive to me. And I also offer creations made from my images that I don't see in other photography shops.
Do you sell anywhere outside of etsy? If so, where?
I also have images on www.redbubble.com, and I hope to have stuff in some local brick and mortar shops this summer.
How long have you been making your craft?
For about 25 years.
Is it your full-time job?
No, I still have a day job.
How do you balance work, and/or your shop, and home?
I have the ability to pimp on the forums from work, and I try to work on my photography in the evenings. But it is very hard, there is never enough hours in the day.
What is your favorite material.
Well, I guess it would be the shrink material I use to make my night lights from.
What inspires you?
Everything, I walk around and try to find unique ways to see the world.
