Jane Davenport Selects Her Design Team Members!

The Byron Bay beauty herself...Jane "Danger" Davenport has chosen me to be on her creative design team! The team is, affectionately, called the "DavenParty". How cute!

:: imagine me cartwheeling all over my living room right now ::

I am incredibly grateful for + humbled by this opportunity to do what I absolutely adore for a living! 

To partner with the lovely Jane Davenport for her very first range of art supplies is mind-blowing, to say the least. 

I'll never forget it...it was two weeks before Christmas. I was snuggled up in my fuzzy panda pajamas, binge watching Season 6 of The Walking Dead on Netflix when I received the news.

As I read her email,
     "Well, I am just so super excited to send you this email!

     We had an avalanche of applicants and it was a rigorous selection process but your work stood out to the American Crafts Social team and I"...

I hollered + jumped around like I was in kindergarten again! LOL!

I'm so happy you're gonna be part of this new adventure with me. 

Here's a quick run-down of what you can expect:

• Fun videos, challenges, downloadable goodies, more art journal flip throughs, along with my own, personal projects
• You can devour close up shots of my artwork via my Instagram feed ( @MarticeSmithArt )
• Jane's new art supplies line will/should be in all Michael's Arts & Crafts stores in the USA + in Canada.

>>> Here is Jane's official, Davenparty announcement!

Jane chooses her DavenParty members! Courtney, Cindy, James, Martice (that's ME!), Tiffany, Ali, and Tonja

What a blessing for me to keep inspiring other creatives {like you} all over the world!

I don't want you to miss out on the FUN, my friends!

Who else is ready for a wildly creative + soulful year?

A BIG THANK YOU to Jane + her American Crafts team for trusting in my creative vision to represent your brand.
