How long have you been an artisan & business owner in Buffalo?
3 years

East Aurora – Southtowns
Do you have a physical storefront? If so, what is the address?
No, although you can find my work at MUSEjar ( Elm Street, East Aurora) And Rowandale Artisan Market (Main Street, East Aurora)
Have you operated elsewhere?
India – I spent 3 years on and off traveling there, making & selling artwork and practicing & teaching yoga & Reiki Healing as I went.
Please describe your work / product; if applicable, please include your artist / personal statement or mission.
I teach yoga & Reiki, I practice Natural Healing, Reiki and Plant Spirit Medicine, and I make all things fiber arts. Mainly, modern-style dream catchers and macramé jewelry. I infuse all of my artwork with Reiki so that they may be adornments that also heal. My personal mission is about healing. Healing through art & meditation, healing our connection to the natural world, and learning to return to simple ways of living and being.

Lindsay Sullivan of Elle Pea Tee / Gretchen Meyers of Peg’s Hardware / Alexandra Robinson of Blue Eyed Baker (yum!) / Vanessa Frost of MUSEjar
