Hello world and welcome! Running a blog has been a dream for many years and I’m so excited to create my first post and go on this journey. I’m Amanda, and I call myself the green artist.
I am the creative director behind Green Artist Designs, my online art shop. I’m inspired by nature, fairy tales, and the magic in everyday life. If you are interested in seeing my work, check out my shop here.
I’ve been running my online art business for quite a few years now, and while I have a small blog there, I wanted a site purely dedicated to writing and sharing experiences. I will definitely share things from my business every now and then, but I created this space as basically a journal to share my interests with the world.
Who Am I?
I’m an artist, graphic designer, photographer, marketer, art educator, dreamer, dog mom, aspiring writer, licensed hairdresser & makeup artist, plus I have a trillion and one more interests as well. I love crystals, plants, the moon, organizing, paying off debt, thinking outside the box, Broadway shows, art history, reading, learning, sunflowers, fall time, and more. My mind is always all over the place!
I’ve always had an interest in writing, and since I was a kid I would fill notebooks out completely with stories and little poems. Recently I’ve been working on a few novels that have been brewing in my head for years. Creating this blog seems like it will help me write a little something every day which will ultimately help me grow in the end.
My business has been doing pretty well over the past few years, but I’m ready to take it to the next level and accomplish other personal goals. I know blogging will help hold me accountable for my goals. Reaching readers who are in similar boats and have interests like mine would be amazing too.
Here is what I want to accomplish in 2022:
1. Make my art business a full-time income
2. Plan out my fantasy/romance novel and write a successful first draft
3. Make this blog successful and reach some awesome readers
4. Take better care of myself
5. Pay off more student loans
6. Sit back and not forget to enjoy life
2022 is the year I get stuff done. ✨Manifesting it!✨
I hope you stay around to read more of my future posts because I have so many ideas for this blog and am very excited to see where this new journey takes me. I just wrote a huge list of blog post ideas, and I think you’ll like some of the topics. If you have any ideas for me to write, let me know in the comments! Or if you have goals for 2022 as well, I’d love to hear. Let’s manifest our goals together.
See you next time,
Amanda





Looking forward to reading more! Best wishes in the new year
