We had the good fortune of connecting with Dorothy Shain Henderson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dorothy, what is the most important factor behind your success?
A support system and a powerful mindset. I could not be successful without my wonderful family, husband, employee, vendors who are along for the ride, every step of the way. They are my constant cheerleaders and are there through the ups and downs that accompany an entrepreneurial journey.

Mindset. If you don’t have the belief in yourself to succeed, it is hard to gain momentum.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I am a contemporary artist creating work that evokes connection through original art, prints, textiles and wallpapers, and products to an elevated, design-enthused clientele. Publications like Architectural Digest, Garden & Gun and Southern Living have contributed to my prestige throughout the southeast.

Our vision is to provide and license custom and existing artwork to inspiring companies that align with our brand, to produce artisan textiles, wallpapers and prints, and to connect collectors with Dorothy’s original pieces. We aim to grow our team to include design and sales positions, significantly increase our annual profitability, maintain our elevated reputation and craftsmanship of our products while giving back to the communities we work in.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
The Village of West Greenville (The Arts District) The Art Bomb
DRG Ceramics
Kiah Bellows Studios
Village Grind for Coffee
The Commons for a glass of wine, Automatic Taco & a baked good from SC Bakeroom. Methodical makes the most delicious chocolate sea salt cookies.
