When it comes to being a creative, a lot of people can get caught up in the \\u201crules of art\\u201d. That\\u2019s why I knew I had to bring on Kristy Rice, an entrepreneur and stationery designer who lives by the mantra of "forget rules, forget right, remember joy\\u201d. No matter where you are in your creative journey I think this is something we all need to learn or relearn and that\\u2019s what we talked about in this episode. Kristy and I also get into how she started her business, her experience of bringing on her first employees and how she creates a sense of order in her day to day life. She talks about why she likes entrepreneurship and the freedom that comes along with it plus how she manages her work while only being in the studio part-time every single week!\\xa0 (This episode was pre-recorded on Feb 27, 2020)

About Kristy:
Kristy Rice wears many hats: entrepreneur, mama, celebrity invitation designer, stylist\\u2026but her first love is watercolor. Kristy Rice began her art career humbly, while hiding under the covers with a flashlight as a 6 year old girl who just wanted to make art, literally day and night. It was clear from the start, Kristy would make her mark on the world with a paintbrush. As a modern watercolor painter whose style and instructional approach has become sought after worldwide, Kristy continues to inspire her community with a growing collection of instructional videos and books (Schiffer Publishing). Her spirited, "forget rules, forget right, remember joy" mantra has brought thousands to enjoy painting watercolor who never believed they could. With a degree in Art Education from the Pennsylvania State University+15 years and counting growing a creative wedding business Kristy\'s mission is to bring fine art and it\'s joys into the everyday life of many, has become a fierce passion.
