The Daniel Smith store in Seattle was my “candy store.” Every time I went there, my level of anticipation and excitement increased the closer I got. Then 15 years or so ago — when I started doing demonstrations and teaching workshops at the stores — the joy that came from working with such a wonderful group of people increased with every experience.
Now, as a Brand Ambassador and a member of the Daniel Smith family, I couldn’t be more thankful. The retail stores may have closed, but the Friday online demonstrations are alive and well, and the sense of camaraderie shared with such an amazing group of talented, knowledgeable artists still knows no bounds.
Thank you, John and Katherine, for being such dedicated supporters of the arts, and thank you Daniel Smith Artists’ Materials and for being the catalyst that brings so many artists from around the world together. We’re so very grateful.
