Today turned into an unexpected bring your kid to work day. And pro tip: it turns out, the studio isn’t so kid friendly. Who woulda thought?! 😂 🤦🏼‍♀️

While utterly exhausting, herding a babe on the move while trying to work, it was a GOOD day, and even managed to make some progress on big commissions and the new series! Just thankful to be in a position where I can bring the babe with me on a whim — May not have been exactly the productive day I had planned, but we shared lots of giggles, and for that I’m grateful. 💛

Today in my chat with Allie Dattilio @alliedattilio , we talk about studio spaces, being a mama and an artist, and Allie's journey as an accountant and painter. We also dive in to shipping and how she develops collections.
About Allie:Allie is an oil painter and mixed media artist, residing in her hometown of Hagerstown, Maryland with her husband Mark, son Ward, and their two pups, Lena and Roam.
She graduated from St. Mary's College of Maryland in 2011, with a Bachelor of Arts in Art & Art History, and a minor in Mathematics. This juxtaposition of the creative and analytical has shaped her into a Type-A artist who thrives off of challenging both sides of her brain, pushing the limits of her palette and paintbrush and exploring strategy as a small business owner.
Her paintings dwell in homes and collections internationally, across 5 continents. (Africa and Antarctica are next!) When she's not in her studio, she can be found blowing raspberries into her baby's scrumptious belly rolls, tending to her family's organic garden, and slowly remodeling and designing their fixer-upper.
Her work is about hope - weathering the literal and metaphorical storms, and seeing the light at the horizon. Aesthetically, drawn to the contrast of dark, moody skies, against the rich glow of 24 karat gold leaf.
Her landscapes live somewhere between abstract and real, a particular vagueness intended to challenge the viewer to discover the image on their own terms, applying their own histories and memories onto the piece.

Bookkeeping and taxes can be one of the hardest parts of owning a handmade business, but Janet LeBlanc of Paper & Spark makes it easy to understand and easy to do! We discuss how to treat your business like a business and not a hobby, taxes and how to be prepared for them and how to price your work. You can find all of Janet's products at Paper & Spark.
About Janet:I’m a Louisiana girl now living in Texas, a Certified Public Accountant, a serial-entrepreneur, and a mama of two crazies (though not in that order!). My passion is helping other creative ladies bring their entrepreneurial dreams to life with confidence. As an accountant and spreadsheet nerd, I love creating tools + resources to help you achieve financial success in your biz or personal life.
In 2011, I started selling handcrafted jewelry on Etsy. In 2014, I founded Paper+Spark and debuted a line of personalized desktop goods. Throughout this journey, I kept getting called back to my love of numbers and accounting. I finally succumbed to the pressure and created the first iteration of the Etsy Seller Spreadsheet in 2015. This product completely changed the course of my entrepreneurial journey. Creating spreadsheets isn’t the sexiest or most glamorous product to design (although I like to think they’re pretty, for spreadsheets), but getting the chance to help creatives feel more confident about their money has been SO fulfilling.
