HEIDI EASLEY
I am a painter, entrepreneur, busy mom to my beautiful daughter Pixie and wife to my wonderful husband Bobby of 20+ years! What keeps me going is my love for God, My Family & of course…ART!
We lost everything! My family lost our home and cars along with all our pride back in 2007 and had to start from scratch. I was so embarrassed and heartbroken that just recently I started opening up about it to others. I was teaching at a school full time, but NEVER wanted to feel that pain again so I started a little surf board painting business.
My family and I hand sawed over 1000 small surfboards and then I would sit at the beach 3 days a week for 12 hour days hand painting each one to the customers specification. In just 2 months we had made around $20,000. I was so empowered by the fact that I could be in control of my financial success and hopefully not feel that pain again.
Then…
After a much needed move back to Texas a friend asked if I had taught group paintings. (I had done this in Florida as well) So at her community clubhouse I started offer Ladies Night Out paint events. I enjoyed the extra money and when my business kept growing it gave me the courage to take it to the next level. I now travel all over the USA teaching paint parties to large groups! My daughter loves to join me on my road trips!
The lesson I learned 11 years ago was so hard, but I’m SO GRATEFUL! If I wouldn’t have gone through the pain and the loss of my home and everything we owned I wouldn’t have this drive to fight so hard. I truly believe that God has always led my heart to want to create art! I am so thankful that all of you come to painting events and I can’t wait to see what the next adventure holds!
