We had the good fortune of connecting with Teedgra Carter and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Teedgra, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
I pursed a artistic career because I have always loved art. I remember the first drawing I did when I was nine. I knew from that moment that wanted to be an artist. I knew I would not be happy unless I was doing something creative every day.

What should our readers know about your business?
Art Time Studio Garner Nc focuses on bringing out the creativity in everyone. Art Studio Garner Nc is different from other studios because we let our customers choose their own paintings. A outline can also be drawn on the canvas for customers who are not artistic. There will be step by step instructions given during the 2 hours sessions for adults and children. Customers are welcome to bring food and drink for their paint sessions. I start drawing when I was 9 years old. I knew then that I wanted to be an artist. So I went to college for Fine Arts and received a Bachelors in Fine Arts. I then decided I wanted to teach so I went back and got a Master in Art Education. I then became a art teacher. I have been teaching 18 I feel that it’s time leave classroom, but I would still like to teach art so I decided to open my studio. My challenge has been starting over. I had a studio in 2014 I had to close in 2018. I was so discouraged and I didn’t think I could start again. I also worked full time and I had three children. The lesson I learned is that you can’t let people talk you out of your dreams. I want the world to know that Art Time Studio Garner Nc developed by someone who is a very passionate about art.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My husband Maurice Carter. He has supported me throughout my journey of starting my business. My husband family also supported me. They drove three hours to support me for my grand opening.
