A lawyer with a love of art created a shop 17 years ago to support local artists. When Jane Reddin passed away from cancer, she left the store to an employee who she knew would love it as much as she did. Since then, former news photojournalist Lisa Olson, has poured her heart in making Practical Art a cornerstone for art in our community. If you're looking for wall art, prints, t-shirts, bowls, or a baby gift, Practical Art at Central and Camelback has it all. Lisa absolutely loves community and takes her artists’ treasures to sell at Uptown Farmers Market on Saturdays. When you see her, call her the crazy mug lady, and she'll love it. You must listen to the podcast to find out why! https://practical-art.com/
