What gets an artist going and keeps them creating is certainly worth sharing, and every great connection starts with a simple introduction.\u00a0Meet Pauline Stevens<\/a>, the artist behind our new Recipe Towels<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Pauline<\/a><\/p>\n

When did you know you wanted to be an artist?<\/strong><\/p>\n

When my head was with full with ideas and no place to put them.<\/p>\n

What was the most exciting thing about becoming a professional artist?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Realizing\u00a0that others besides my family and friends like my work, and were willing to pay for it!<\/p>\n

\"Pauline<\/a><\/p>\n

What does your typical day in the studio look like?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Opening windows and blinds, making coffee, a little music, playing around \u00a0with props and light, taking pictures, playing around some more, clicking my camera once again.\u00a0 Choosing images. A little lightroom, some Photoshop, and testing.<\/p>\n

\"Inside<\/a><\/p>\n

Is there a trinket, talisman, or other inspirational object you keep near? If so, what is it and what does it mean to you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not really. I love music, light, and color and feel really in spirit when I am outdoors.<\/p>\n

\"Outside<\/a><\/p>\n

Imagine you just showed your work to a kindergartener for the first time. What do you think he\/she would say?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI’m hungry!\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Pauline<\/a><\/p>\n

What quote or mantra keeps you motivated?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let the world know you are here and do it with passion.<\/p>\n

What are your most essential tools?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My camera, my love for light and admiration for food.<\/p>\n
