For me a trip to the shoe store may as well be a trip to the dentist. I walk in under the false pretense of good hygiene and prolonged comfort; only to leave upset, confused and with my pants unbuttoned. Thus painting shoes was born from the my desire circumvent the shoe store experience completely and create a product which met my visions exactly. The fact that other people ask me to paint shoes for them, so they too get exactly what they want, is a dream come true. Every day I get to work from home, painting shoes, is another day I get to keep the dream alive. And I am grateful.
