Today’s Etsy Artist Spotlight is shining on Carrie from UUPP!
She sells lovely art prints full on inspirational and uplifting messages in custom colors. You can even have a custom design made just for you…love that!!
Meet Carrie…
Tell us a bit about yourself
I am first and foremost a mom of three, a happy wife, and someone who likes to make stuff. I love the feeling of making something that didn’t exist before. I opened my store so that I could channel my creativity into something with positive energy after having to deal with some of life’s bumpy roads. UUPP, (Unique Uplifting Positive Prints) is full of messages about things I love most; family, friends, faith, staying positive, good food ( I am a serious Julia Child fan) and my devotion to all things Jane Austen, (especially Mr. Darcy).
What inspires you?
I love looking at vintage patterns and color palettes. I love the idea of mixing the old with fresh new design. I am also really inspired by
gardens. I love tending to my own garden and especially love visiting an amazing Japanese garden not far from my studio. It is heavenly.
What’s the best thing about where you live?
Definitely it is the nature around me. I live right next to a 150 acre
natural wooded park. It is full of lots of animals and amazing scenery. We have even had a bear in our front yard although we are in a suburb. The view out of my art studio is amazing.
What’s on your playlist? Any favorite songs you listen to over and over?
I love Artie Shaw, Ella Fitzgerald and lots and lots of Frank Sinatra. And when you mix Frank with my favorite beverage (coffee), you get a delightful song called “The Coffee Song”. I also can’t get enough of Joao Gilberto and Stan Getz’s song, “The Girl From Ipanema”.
Where can we find you?
Thanks, Carrie! A coffee song??? I’ll have to check that out! It’s always fun to get to know the artist behind the art.
Carrie created this beautiful Forever…Wherever print for me. It’s the name of our family blog and I have it hanging up where everyone that visits can see.
Custom prints make amazing gifts, so think about this great shop the next time your need a special birthday or wedding gift. Carrie really is a sweet, uplifting person and I love her work. You will enjoy working with her, I’m sure.
