I'm Rachel Lauver, the artist and owner of Green Velvet Creative and Green Velvet Goods on Etsy.
I started Green Velvet as a way to establish more consistent art habits, but it's turned into a mission to learn how to live a slower, more fulfilling life and help foster a creative industry that's rooted in collaboration instead of consumerism and competition.
In this blog, I hope to not only share my art, but explore how to discover your artistic voice, cultivate community, build an ethical business, and learn skills and crafts that we can pass down to future generations. I don't know much yet, but I hope you'll join me and we can figure it out together.
