About The Farming Artist

The Farming Artist is the creative alter ego of me! - Mackenzie Cissell - a farmer’s wife & mom of 5 in the Heart of Virginia whose entrepreneurial journey was reinvented during a 15 month from-the-ground-up farmhouse renovation! If cramming our lives into a 300 sq ft RV during reno wasn’t enough of a challenge, I decided to take it one step further and build a business from the ground up too! I figured if we all made it out of that RV without doing each other in, I wanted something grand to show for it (a finished home wasn’t enough, after all!). As luck - and a little social media strategy - would have it, I soon learned that I wasn’t the only one who enjoyed my art - yay! In order to get my designs into as many hands (and onto as many cups, cars, products, favors, and packages!) as possible, I chose to turn them into stickers - an accessible medium, as it turns out, for people of all ages. Today, while my husband splits his time between our 74 acres of pasture and his (also built from-the-ground-up) wood shop, I spend mine in the studio of that farmhouse (totally done and worth the wait!) designing, printing and packaging to my heart’s content! Your purchase directly supports our farming, artsy small business family, while helping to instill the spirit of entreprenuership in our five young kiddos!Read their story
