This week's featured artist is Autumn Rain Creations!

Autumn Rain Creations - Live, Love, Create.

Senioritis: Name and location please.
Autumn Rain Creations: April Dostert, Oregon, USA
Senioritis: Hey April!

Senioritis: Can you tell us a little about yourself April?
Autumn Rain Creations: I have been married to my hubby for 21 years and have been a fulltime Mommy for 18 years to 7 beautiful and amazing children. I create things, love nature, and love photography; it is just part of my life. Autumn Rain Creations is my outlet and my business.
Senioritis: That's awesome, we're sure that all your kids keep you pretty busy April :) Do your kids like to create or are they into other stuff?

Senioritis: Marlon Brando: Streetcar Named Desire or the Godfather?
Autumn Rain Creations: Streetcar Named Desire.



Senioritis: How would you describe your style to someone who has never seen your work, April?
Autumn Rain Creations: Soft, colorful, expressive, real.
Senioritis: Absolutely, we definitely see your work being all these things!

Senioritis: April, what would you say is the best business tip you have ever received and who gave it to you?
Autumn Rain Creations: Don't mold yourself into what others want just to make money. Follow your heart and work hard, success will come. I received this tip from a few Etsy Artists.
Senioritis: Great tip indeed! We've always tried to create designs that we enjoy first and foremost. Some people will like our work, some people won't, either way that's cool ;)



Senioritis: What would you say is your favorite sport to either watch or play April?
Autumn Rain Creations: My favorite sport to watch is football, my favorite sport to play would be tennis.
Senioritis: American football or World Cup football? I've always wanted to play tennis on a clay court just to see what it's like ;)

Senioritis: Chevy Chase: Fletch or Three Amigos
Autumn Rain Creations: Fletch.
Senioritis: Excelente!

Senioritis: Do you have a favorite quote April?
Autumn Rain Creations: "We may not have it all together, but together we have it all." ~ Author unknown.



Senioritis: If you could jump in the DeLorean and go back in time; what’s one thing you would do differently in your business?
Autumn Rain Creations: I would have been more organized from the get go, being organized makes more time for creating.
Senioritis: Great point April, when our work area and various projects are organized it's much easier for us to focus on creating.

Senioritis: If the $100 bill needed a redesign, who would you put on it?
Autumn Rain Creations: That would be Steve Martin. Life is too serious, we all need to laugh more :)
Senioritis: Steve Martin, excellent choice. Steve Martin with a big nose like he had in the movie Roxanne would probably help us all laugh a bit more ;)

Senioritis: April, where can we find you on the web?
Autumn Rain Creations: AutumnRainCreations.etsy.com, my blog, my facebook fan page and coming soon Autumn Rain Creations.



Senioritis: James Bond: Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan, or Daniel Craig?
Autumn Rain Creations: Sean Connery.
Senioritis: How can you go wrong with Connery?

Senioritis: Any shoutouts April?
Autumn Rain Creations: To my awesome hubby who doesn't demand that I get out there, leave the kids in daycare, make me forget my ambition, and get an 8 to 5 job. To my sweets as well, all 7 of them; they make me who I am. I know mush mush but that's me :)

April, thanks a bunch for sharing a few minutes with us and letting our readers know a bit more about the artist behind Autumn Rain Creations. Keep up the great work!

Featured Artist :: Heather King Photography

This week's featured artist is Heather King Photography!

Heather King Photography - Product and Fine Art Photography

Senioritis: Name & location please.
Heather King Photography: Heather King, Atlanta, GA

Senioritis: Heather, can you give us a brief bio please?
Heather King Photography: I'm a professional photographer working throughout the Atlanta, GA area. I enjoy product photography as well as relaxing and taking some time to create fine art. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography as well as a minor in Professional Photography.
Senioritis: Wow, that's awesome. We're just glad we can turn on our digital camera ;)

Senioritis: Heather, if you were describing your style to someone in a few words; what would those words be?
Heather King Designs: Simple, clean, classic (mostly, lol), and a little fun :P



Senioritis: Do you have a favorite color?
Heather King Photography: Hmmm...such a hard question, I LOVE colors! Today, I'd say purple.

Senioritis: Are you a righty or a lefty?
Heather King Photography: Lefty! I like being different :)

Senioritis: Do you have a favorite quote?
Heather King Photography: We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. - Aristotle
Senioritis: We agree, excellence is indeed a habit. Great quote Heather, we can all learn a great deal from Aristotle ;)



Senioritis: If you could have lunch with someone famous, past or present, who would it be?
Heather King Photography: This is such a hard question for me. I never know how to answer it! One person I'd love to have lunch with would be Viggo Mortensen. He's best known as an actor, but he's also a photographer. He puts his all into his work, and isn't afraid to do what he wants. I'd love to pick his brain for a bit!
Senioritis: We weren't aware that Viggo Mortensen is a photographer. We think he's a great actor, really liked him in Eastern Promises, we'll have to check out his camera work.

Senioritis: Heather, do you have a favorite cartoon?
Heather King Photography: Family Guy! Always makes me laugh, and is a great fix for a bad mood :)
Senioritis: Great show, Stewie cracks us up.


Senioritis: Where do you see yourself and your business in 10 years?
Heather King Photography: I hope to be working as a photographer full time, selling many many prints, and have my art hanging in many places (including all of your homes! hehe).
Senioritis: We think that's a great gameplan. Your works are great and we're sure they will be sent to many new homes ;)

Senioritis: Where can we find you on the web?
Heather King Photography:
Website
Etsy shop
Facebook
Blog
Senioritis: Great links Heather! We really like the way your site is designed; your portfolio looks great as well. We have several baseball gloves that look nice and worn just like the one in your photo ;)



Senioritis: Before we let you go, would you like to give any shoutouts?
Heather King Photography: I'll give a shoutout to my kitties, Kaylee and Fitz, thank you for keeping me company and sitting on my lap while I edit photos at the computer! They help to keep me sane :)
