Owner Fleece and Harmony Woollen Mill, Kim Doherty-Smith

Category: Entrepreneur, Products, Services
Tags: #breakingbarriers, #investinyourself, #keepinitreal, #mentorship, #shareyourstories, #woollen mill

I wasn’t always spinning yarns. Before I started my own business by opening Fleece and Harmony, I was neck deep in the corporate world. I found myself living in a large city, commuting 3 hours a day to an office and working 50 hour weeks. Originally from Nova Scotia, I was missing the the ocean, space and a place to find peace and quiet. My husband and I found a farm for sale in rural PEI and made the move 10 years ago. We are surrounded by a beautiful landscape, and are the caretakers of 25 sheep, two horses and 8 angora rabbits.

Artist, JL Schwartz

My love of art began in preschool when my mother signed me up for classes at the Tampa Museum of Art. Although I have had other careers, that love of art has never faded and I continued to develop my art skills via formal training and experimentation. Initially, the focus of my art was realism and impressionism. However, several years ago I made the switch over to abstract. My artwork has garnered international awards and has been selected for publication in a number of printed and digital magazines and an art book. My website is https://jlschwartzart.com/
