Hi! My name is Ariel, and this my art business.
I started Dare to Daydream back in April of 2020 because we were all stuck in the house, my creative freedom was at an all time high, and I had oodles of time to reflect on the things that were once very passionate to me. Creating different forms of art has always been my number one go to. Whether it be drawing, painting, writing or singing, its always been art.
My original business had started off as a mental health and wellness apparel shop on Etsy. The cause holds a special place in my heart, and I wanted to incorporate my art into helping others. So I created some peices & slapped them on to some shirts & went to market. For the first few months it went really well. Solid sales, a ton of interest, & then it kind of fizzled out. Or maybe I did. After that it became an online boutique. There I sold a mixture of boutique fashion & some of my art on shirts. Just like the Etsy page, it went well for a few months then wayward & I lost interest.
A little over a month ago I started reflecting & really trying to figure out what I want to do with my life, because as it sits I am part time artist, full time a bartender, & I know I don't want to do that the rest of my life. So I've decided to really dig deep and give my art another try.
Eventually I would love to use the money I make from creating art to give back to my community by helping other reach there goals in small business, & also to create centers for mental wellness, among many other grand aspirations.
On this website you will find original, one of a kind works of art. These vary from digital downloads for other artists to use, to physical artworks that can be hung or worn. Everything is unique and handmade. All art will come signed, and with a handwritten letter. There is also be the ability to order custom works. I would love to do more murals! I plan on creating a whole mess of art from now on and uploading regularly. So check back often to see what kind of shenanigans I have been up too.
