I am Katie and I am the owner and artist of Peace Addict Tie Dyes. Every tie dye in my shop is hand dyed by me using the best materials as well as my love and passion for the art.\u00a0 My shop is a\u00a0safe\u00a0place for\u00a0all walks of life to\u00a0find brilliant colors to\u00a0wear out into the\u00a0world and help make it a brighter\u00a0place!<br><br>My\u00a0work 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\u2019t for me. 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.<br><br>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\u2019 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.<br><br>When you come by, you will also get to meet my sweet shop puppy, Vreda. She is the best greeter!<br><br>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!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/peaceaddictlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_20240704_095844728-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-758\" srcset=\"https:\/\/peaceaddictlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_20240704_095844728-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/peaceaddictlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_20240704_095844728-324x324.jpg 324w, https:\/\/peaceaddictlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_20240704_095844728-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/peaceaddictlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_20240704_095844728-416x416.jpg 416w, https:\/\/peaceaddictlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_20240704_095844728-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/peaceaddictlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_20240704_095844728-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/peaceaddictlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_20240704_095844728-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/peaceaddictlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_20240704_095844728-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/peaceaddictlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/IMG_20240704_095844728.jpg 1728w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div id=\"metaslider-id-109\" style=\"width: 100%;\" class=\"ml-slider-3-107-0 metaslider metaslider-flex metaslider-109 ml-slider has-dots-nav ms-theme-default nav-hidden\" role=\"region\" aria-label=\"New Slideshow\" data-height=\"300\" data-width=\"700\">\n    <div id=\"metaslider_container_109\">\n        <div id=\"metaslider_109\">\n            <ul class='slides'>\n                <li style=\"display: block; width: 100%;\" class=\"slide-110 ms-image \" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" data-date=\"2024-01-16 03:32:10\" data-filename=\"MG_0669-2048x1365-1.jpg\" data-slide-type=\"image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1066\" src=\"https:\/\/peaceaddictlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/MG_0669-2048x1365-1.jpg\" class=\"slider-109 slide-110 msDefaultImage\" alt=\"\" rel=\"\" title=\"MG_0669-2048x1365-1\" style=\"margin: 0 auto; width: 64.325917984455%\" \/><\/li>\n                <li style=\"display: none; width: 100%;\" class=\"slide-111 ms-image \" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" data-date=\"2024-01-16 03:32:10\" data-filename=\"MG_0290-2048x1365-1.jpg\" data-slide-type=\"image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1066\" src=\"https:\/\/peaceaddictlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/MG_0290-2048x1365-1.jpg\" class=\"slider-109 slide-111 msDefaultImage\" alt=\"\" rel=\"\" title=\"MG_0290-2048x1365-1\" style=\"margin: 0 auto; width: 64.325917984455%\" \/><\/li>\n                <li style=\"display: none; width: 100%;\" class=\"slide-112 ms-image \" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" data-date=\"2024-01-16 03:32:10\" data-filename=\"MG_0292-2048x1365-1.jpg\" data-slide-type=\"image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1066\" src=\"https:\/\/peaceaddictlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/MG_0292-2048x1365-1.jpg\" class=\"slider-109 slide-112 msDefaultImage\" alt=\"\" rel=\"\" title=\"MG_0292-2048x1365-1\" style=\"margin: 0 auto; width: 64.325917984455%\" \/><\/li>\n                <li style=\"display: none; width: 100%;\" class=\"slide-113 ms-image \" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" data-date=\"2024-01-16 03:32:11\" data-filename=\"MG_0688-2048x1365-1.jpg\" data-slide-type=\"image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1066\" src=\"https:\/\/peaceaddictlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/MG_0688-2048x1365-1.jpg\" class=\"slider-109 slide-113 msDefaultImage\" alt=\"\" rel=\"\" title=\"MG_0688-2048x1365-1\" style=\"margin: 0 auto; width: 64.325917984455%\" \/><\/li>\n            <\/ul>\n        <\/div>\n        \n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hiya!
