Who we are!
Hey, I am Denise, one of the owners of AArts Plaques. Talking a bit about me, I have 2 passions in life - Art and Animals. I grew up being surrounded by pets and always doing different art courses. It was a strategy formulated by my mum and the doctor to help me concentrate on things. I have ADHD, and by doing art, I could stay focused for long periods doing the activity that I was given. It was fantastic. I have good memories of this time in my life. I painted with different techniques. I did mosaic, decoupage, sculpture, photography, editing and various other art styles. What I didn't know at that time was that all that learning, all those techniques as a child made me a professional artist later in life.
A few years ago, I started volunteering at a zoo to stay close to the animals. A few years after that, I worked on a tourist farm, which gave me some expertise with more animals and customers. Now, I have returned to work in the same zoo where I previously volunteered as an assistant Zookeeper!
Now enter AArts I could join my 2 passions, working at the zoo and having an online store with my business partner Rosely, where we make art. It's not easy working in 2 different careers, but these are my passions in life, And I put the same amount of love, effort, and attention to detail into both.
