"Muses Surround Us" Guide

Announcing a guide for our Muses Surround Us blog series. The guide lists the women we've featured that own a business, or are artists that sell their work. 

Some of our muses serve locally. If you're not nearby, consider seeking out the makers and artists in your own neighborhood with similar offerings. Not only have events/markets been altered by the pandemic, social media algorithms are making it increasingly difficult to reach the fans they cultivated online.

Links below are maintained by each business/artist. Any purchases you make are conducted through their individual websites.
