Your name: Danielle Chimes

Your Business name and Facebook name and link: Chain of Hearts Creative - https://www.facebook.com/ChainofHeartsCreative/ (or tag with @ChainofHeartsCreative)

The suburb/town you live in now: Toowoomba

What is it that you make and what skills do you use? I am a Graphic Designer and watercolour artist. I create watercolour paintings, stationery design and invitations, logos and branding design.






What inspired you to start your business? I have always had a love for crafty arty things, and wanted to start my own business after studying graphic design. After having my first baby, it seemed like the perfect time to start designing from home. I decided to try out painting about a year ago and found a new love for watercolour.

How long have you been ‘creating’? I have been designing for just over 7 years with painting being my newest skill.

Is it a full time/ part time/hobby or business? A hobby that has just recently became a Part time business

Where do you sell your creations? Online/markets etc.. What makes what you do special or different? I have just started presenting my work at a few local markets and sell my artwork online. Using both my hand painted designs and my digital Graphic Design techniques and skills, I create unique and quirky framed artwork, both painted and printed. 





What is the most rewarding part of what you do? I think the most rewarding part of this whole adventure is that people actually purchase my artwork to find a special place in their homes to hang on their walls. That is a huge compliment. I am also finding a lot of people are requesting custom/personalised designs and purchasing prints to give to others, which makes for such a lovely and thoughtful gift.

What is your favourite product that you make? My watercolour animal paintings are always fun to create and I love special print finishes and fancy invitations.

Do you teach classes or workshops? No I don't
