CHRISTY ANSWERS THE FIVE W's

Who are you?

Artist, Wife, Mother, Sister, Daughter, Friend, Daughter of God, Dreamer.

What do you believe with all of your heart?

That there is an artist in everyone and that we all have talents we can share.

When did you know that this was your path?

I finally realized this when I launched my first She Art class in 2010.

Where is your favorite place on earth?

Home.

Why do you love your life?

Because I have been truly blessed. I am able to work with my husband every day, stay at home with my six kids, and do something I love that inspires and helps others. I am also blessed because I get to meet wonderful people all the time that influence my life in many different ways.

How do you do everything you do?

I just do it. Even with everything else going on…running online classes, the blog, our online store, traveling and teaching, hosting week long retreats in our home, raising 6 kids, keeping my relationship alive with my hubby of 20 years, being an active member of the LDS church, and having fibromyalgia which puts me in pain every single day. I just do it. Why not? If it makes me happy, what have I got to lose?
