New Adventures

Yesterday, for the first time in my life I was interviewed on television!  Andrea Presse from the Wyoming Women's Business Center asked me to join her in an interview by representing my art business on a  segment on our local Channel 5 television station. Andrea and I have become friends over the past year, after I  attended some of her workshops that were geared to help women plan as well as start up a small business.  Because she also has an art background, she has been instrumental  in helping me  figure out what would be needed to get my business going as well as supporting me in learning about all the paperwork that needs to be filed.  As an artist, the tendency is to stay isolated, working  in the studio but Andrea encouraged me to venture outside and explore new possibilities in the world of art.  During the television segment, I was surprised to learn  that Wyoming is at the top of the nation for businesses owned by women.  In my opinion, the numbers have partially  been reached through encouragement and the programs available at the Wyoming Women's Business Center.  It is exciting to be part of the group of women in Wyoming that are taking the initiative to reach for their dreams.    Thanks, Andrea for your support!
