Welcome to My Journey: The Beginning of Becoming Boss

Hey!

I’m so excited to finally share this blog with you—it’s been a long time coming. If you’re new here, welcome! I’m Shaunt’e Lewis, an artist, entrepreneur, and creative spirit, and I’m here to share my journey with you in hopes that it sparks something in you, too.

Why this blog?
The idea for this blog came from my own journey of becoming a full-time artist. It hasn’t always been easy (trust me), but every step I’ve taken has been a learning experience—one that’s taught me not only how to build a successful creative business but also how to balance it all as a mother of four and a person with dreams.

Over the years, I’ve received a lot of questions: How did you start your art business? How do you stay motivated? What advice would you give to someone starting out? This blog is where I’ll answer all of those questions and more.

Where it all began
When I first decided to step fully into the art world, I had no idea what I was doing. I was running two salons, raising my kids, and trying to figure out how to make time for my art. It felt like an impossible dream. But deep down, I knew I wanted something more—a creative career that would allow me to express myself, uplift others, and build a business that was truly mine.

Fast forward to now: I’ve been featured on the cover of the New York Times art section, I’ve worked with amazing brands like West Elm and Meijer, and I’ve built a six-figure art business doing what I love. None of this happened overnight, and there were many challenges along the way, but every step has led me to this moment.

What to expect
This blog is for you if you’re a creative, an entrepreneur, or just someone who’s ready to take a leap toward your dreams. I’ll be sharing:

  • Behind-the-scenes stories from my art journey

  • Tips for starting and growing your own creative business

  • How to balance work, life, and everything in between

  • Resources and inspiration to keep you motivated

Whether you’re just starting out or you’re looking to take your career to the next level, my goal is to give you the tools and inspiration to make it happen.

Let’s do this together
I’m a big believer in community, and I want this blog to feel like a space where we’re all learning and growing together. So, if you ever have questions or topics you want me to dive into, feel free to reach out! We’re in this journey together, and I’m excited to see where it takes us.

Thanks for joining me on this ride. Here’s to discovering our passions, building our dreams, and becoming the boss of our own lives!

With creativity and love,
Shaunt’e Lewis
Founder, SLA
