When talking to these artists, News 8 found that most had unique and colorful childhoods, starting with a passion of creation. One small business owner described work during the holiday season.
"The local business is the person," said Kira Sinclair, owner of KiraArts. "Making stuff brings me joy and if the stuff that I make can bring joy to people, like, I've done my job. If I make you smile with my work, I've done my job."
