Turning Art Into Business and Raising a Creative Life

In this episode of That Delaware Podcast, we sit down with Katie from Finley’s Flowers and her son Finley for a conversation about creativity, motherhood, and building a business from the ground up.

Katie shares how she went from working in coffee shops and bartending to creating one of the most unique floral brands in the area. Her work blends art and nature, from painting flowers and recreating famous artwork through arrangements to designing experiences like bouquet bars and pop ups.

We talk about what it looks like to build a business while raising a child, the reality of time management and boundaries, and how small moments, conversations, and community support can completely change your path.
