Resin Mastery - Mindful Tree Art - Flower Preservation Artist and Trainer - Episode 11

The interview features Ann Niebch, an artist, author, and owner of Mindful Tree Art and Floor Preservation. Ann shares her journey from being a single mom in her twenties to a senior director in corporate America, where she developed women in leadership training programs. Despite her success, she felt a creative void in her life. This led her to yoga, which helped her become more mindful and present, especially in nature. The pandemic served as a catalyst, pushing her to explore her artistic side by painting murals, pressing flowers, and eventually creating jewelry and bookmarks, which she sold on Etsy.

Ann's exploration eventually led her to flower preservation. She started experimenting with resin, facing many challenges and failures, but she persevered. She created a website offering wedding bouquet preservation services. By the end of 2021, the demand for her services grew exponentially, leading her to quit her corporate job and pursue her business full-time. Ann emphasizes the importance of taking the first step, making space for creativity, and believing in one's innate artistic abilities.

Ann discusses the emotional aspect of her work, particularly with memorial projects. She feels honored to preserve flowers from significant life events. She values the stories shared with her by clients, especially those who have experienced loss, and finds fulfillment in creating lasting mementos for them. She appreciates using high-quality epoxy resin from iCoat Products, a company that values quality over profit.

She has just released in Early 2025 her book Art, Hustle, & Flow: Mastering the art, business, and strategy of modern flower preservation. Available at https://www.mindfultreeart.com/training and on Amazon and wherever you find great books.
