Hiya! I am Katie and I am the owner and artist of Peace Addict Tie Dyes. My work experience began quite different, in the corporate field as a financial analyst. While I was able to learn and grow from it, I just knew it wasn’t for me. So I made the decision to quit and moved to South Africa, where I volunteered at an educational park and was able to take care of baby lions.
I moved back to Colorado with a fresh outlook and started tie dying, an art that I have always loved. I traveled around and sold my dyes at festivals, art shows, craft fairs, farmers’ markets and empty parking lots. In August of 2020, I opened The Peace Place in Englewood, Colorado. This is where I get to create and bring joy to so many people and spread peace and love with the world.
When you come by, you will also get to meet my sweet shop puppy, Vreda. She is the best greeter!
I am so grateful to be on this magnificent and artistic journey. Thank you for your support, for believing in me and watching Peace Addict Tie Dyes grow!
