WESLEY CHAPEL, Fla. — The B Creative Painting Studio is celebrating 10 years in business in Wesley Chapel.
Bernadette Blauvelt's husband was wounded in combat in 2010, and she was searching for a connection.
When he retired, she started B-Creative Painting Studio to give back to the community. She also learned that it's the perfect hobby for clearing one's mind.
"My husband was in the hospital for almost a year. So when I needed some alone time, I found this to do. So I felt like when he retired, I needed something for me. And in return, I feel like between the community and myself, we gave something to each other. There's a connection here that I have to the Wesley Chapel people that is just unbreakable," said Blauvelt.
That unbreakable connection has led to her success. In fact, she says about 80% of her customers are those she had when she started back in 2014.
