The Story Behind String of the Art
Hello string artists! I'm Lawrence Ross, the artist and founder of String of the Art.
At a young age I discovered that I had a strong passion for creativity. Many years later, I put my passion aside and took a path to becoming an attorney. Due to my Dyslexia, I struggled for three years in the pursuit to pass the Bar Exam. In between studying for each exam, I turned back to art. The Bar Exam, which, in most cases leads to the practice of law, instead led me to foster my creative talents and start my small business String of the Art.
The do-it yourself string art kits have been featured in publications such as Country Living Magazine, HGTV.com, BuzzFeed, and Etsy. I am also a string artist with Primitives By Kathy and DMC Embroidery Floss.
Over the past four years I have connected with wonderful people along the string art path. The best feeling as an artist and business owner is hearing from all the happy satisfied customers making beautiful string art for their home or loved ones.
