My shop all started back in middle school when I got about 10 packs of canvases for Christmas. I began painting them all different colors and playing around with lettering using some of my mom's Sharpies she had lying around.
All throughout my early teenage years I started marketing off of my parents' Facebook accounts as family friends would place custom orders.
With the help of social media, most of my orders come through direct messages. It was a lot to keep up with, so I am infinitely grateful that Etsy makes it so easy to sell on this platform.
In 2019, I officially launched Kind Hearted Creations, my first LLC, as I approached my first show, selling my items at a booth. Over the past three years or so, I have been blessed with the chance to make this my "full-time high school job" and it has been so amazing.
As the journey of moving into my college years has begun, I rebranded my business into simply Art By Emma LLC. My prayer for this shop is that it can be a personable faith-filled place where you can find joy in my artwork.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me, my dreams, and my business. I wouldn't be where I am without you, and because of you, I get to do what I love every single day!
