Kitty Keller's Journey from Hand-Painted T-Shirts to Global Artistry

Kitty Keller is a fine artist who began her career over 38 years ago with painted t-shirts and today, serves clients worldwide with exceptionally curated, hand-crafted glass, ceramic, and cloisonné ornaments.  Each ornament is meticulously hand painted and finished in 24 karat gold accents by skilled artisans. Making them true collectible pieces of art. She has designed works of art for the National Parks, Universities, countless organizations and sells in boutiques and stores all around the world. In this episode she emphasizes the importance of being fearless, not being daunted by detractors, and always seeking the next thing.
