The gift of a growing business is that it can take on a life of it’s own and develop an increasingly authentic voice over time. When I first began Holly Sage Art, I was sitting at my parent’s kitchen table making small paintings and not knowing that they would one day become stickers sold all over the country.
I’ve grown to find that at certain times I love drawing the natural world and other times I’ve been more inclined to paint small affirmations. Some days I love painting trees, mountains and the moon but other days I find myself jotting down phrases like "hang in there" and "breathe."
Covid has been hard on us all - the day to day has involved a lot of tough decision-making and for many of us, life doesn’t look the way we pictured it. The way that I cope is that I take chaos and transform it into art.
When I look at my water bottle and see the “Kindness is Magic” sticker pressed against the side, it reminds me to be gentle with myself and the world. Daily affirmations like the word “BREATHE” just feel so crucial right now.
The movement in a business is what brings it to life and allows it to survive the changing seasons. Having lots of different ideas and passions come together and converge into one makes for a magical venture.
I’ve really enjoyed watching my business evolve and change with the times and morph into it’s own special creation and I want to thank you for sticking by me over the years and for believing in my small grassroots passion.
Sending you love and kindness,
Erica
