Episode 86: #OnTheStacks in the blu door studio with Entrepreneur, Artist, and Author, Kristy Rice. Kristy is the Founder and Owner of Momental Designs and #artforjoysake.
For the last 20 years, Kristy’s obsession with paint and paper evolved into an international business, designing invitations and creating art for celebrities and events around the world.
Kristy talks about her humble beginnings working in retail merchandising, starting her hand painted invitation business, and developing her own line of paint brushes, watercolor palettes, and adult watercoloring books, all of which are now available on Amazon.
Kristy also talks about why breaking the rules helps to keep her inspired, the difference between happiness and joy, and how you can find joy simply by picking up a paint brush.
