We recently connected with Tia Buttcher and have shared our conversation below.
Tia, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. So, naming is such a challenge. How did you come up with the name of your brand?
Peace Of Tia was a business name I came up with when I decided to pursue a career that gave me peace. I was tired of over exhausting myself & not making the time for myself in the right ways that would feed my spirit. I wanted to share a piece of me with the world through my art & passions, it is my purest form of self expression! Creating was something I’ve always participated in throughout my life, especially my childhood. Yet, as I was programmed throughout growing up I lost some of that child-like wonder of the world. Peace Of Tia is solely based on being in touch with things that give me peace; being art, painting, collecting minerals or fossils out on the field & sharing experiences with others. I originally started with Tia’s Peace of Mind to help other small businesses have well thought out start up plans, before I knew it I was doing it for myself! Thus brought Peace Of Tia.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
I am an artist, American ethically sourced mineral/fossil field collector, jeweler & painter from New Jersey, USA! I started pursuing myself in 2021 with ideas in mind & a full heart. I love creating as much as I love collecting, so putting the two together is always a magical act from start to finish!
What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?
A tough lesson I learned through my artistic/creative business journey is simply not to compare yourself to others. Not a place in the world can give you a reason to compare your art to others in a negative way! Originality is key & finding your love or passion will see you through. Focus on yourself & perfecting your craft, it will take you places.
Are there any books, videos or other content that you feel have meaningfully impacted your thinking?
What helped me was constantly meeting other artists & having artistic friendships. It really helped me realize that I can make it happen with my art, paintings, jewelry & minerals! I plan on pursing myself in this way as long as I can. I have sold items here & there before, but never like I have now! It feels magical to be appreciated in these ways, especially when I put my heart & soul into what I do. Forever grateful!
