Interview With Artist Jennifer Volcy

Photos Provided BY: Jennifer Volcy

Please share with my readers a little about yourself.

My name is Jennifer Volcy. I am a visual artist from Toronto, Canada. However, I am currently based in Southern California. I specialize in oil and acrylic portraiture. When I’m not painting, I’m busy being an attorney.

Tell me what inspired you to start doing art?

· I have loved art my entire life. It was always my favorite class in school because I loved creating things. However, I started painting a lot more during law school. I found that because law school could be so rigid, I needed a creative outlet to balance everything else out.

How long have you been painting?

· Since childhood. However, I started sharing my work publicly and selling my work around 2015.

In your opinion, what was the hardest part of putting your artwork out there?

· Sometimes it can be a little nerve wracking because you never know how someone will react to your work. When you put yourself out there, you have to be prepared for both praise and critique. It comes with the territory. Even though I know that, it can still be a scary thing at times. However, it does not stop me from putting out work.

What advice would you give to an upcoming artist?

· Just keep working on your craft. When I look back at work that I was creating in 2015, I am always shocked at how far my technical abilities have come. I think it’s important to stay true to yourself and never stop putting the work in.

What are you hoping people gain from purchasing and seeing your artwork?

· Art is so subjective. I hope people take something positive from my work. However, I think each individual piece speaks to a person differently and that’s one of the things I love about art.

Do you have an upcoming project coming out?

· I do have a cool collaboration that I’ll be working on in the coming months- however, I cannot share the details just yet.

How can some of your pieces be purchased?

· My pieces can be purchased via my website. There is a contact form where potential buyers can inquire about a specific piece.

Please share your media pages for new fans that you would like to share.

Featuring Interview with Cake Designer Nicole of OKC Cake Lady

Photos Provided By Nicole Me: Hi Nicole! How did you start your passion for designing cakes and where are you located? Hi! I am located in Oklahoma City Oklahoma. I started working at a grocery store whenever I was 18 years old. I have always been a car Enthusiast and I had a mini truck that I was fixing up as a hobby. The grocery store manager asked if I wanted to work in the bakery to get more hours. Well, more hours equaled more money for my truck, and I kindly took them up on their offer. From there, I started in the bakery, and I absolutely loved it. I could not get enough of getting to create and putting smiles on customers faces. Me: What made you take a leap into starting your own business? I have always loved business. When I walk into other people's stores, I always look for ways to try to improve their store in my head. So, after working in the bakery for years I just knew that I could do this on my own and I would be a lot happier. I knew that being in my own environm

Featuring Tea Town in Montgomery, AL

Written By: Felecia Causey Tea Town is a family-owned restaurant located in Montgomery, AL. It’s in a great location right off Vaughn Road, close to the AMC movie theater. The first thing that caught my attention was how clean it was. I enjoyed how peaceful it seemed. Oh, my goodness, my readers and followers know how important good customer service is to me. The entire family that was there was so welcoming. I was impressed when they asked if I had any food allergies. That was very courteous of them. I wanted to get a little more background of this family. Just by talking to Buu and Brandi I knew they were aiming to build relationships with their customers. Watching the interactions between them and each person that came through the door, told me that they would treat their customers like family. It will definitely set them apart from many other restaurants in my book. Phat Trieu and Cam Thai came from Vietnam along with their kids. They have been cooking for years and
