This week we have with us an artist who has committed herself to capturing the day-to-day of Duluth in watercolor.

To some she is known as "the sticker artist," but local watercolor artist Sam Nielsen is much more than that. After successfully starting her business and selling her art on Etsy, Nielsen decided to become a full-time artist last spring.

Nielsen shares what Duluth scenes inspire her to create new sketches, what it's been like to fully invest in her watercolor art and how her work appeals to a wide range of art lovers.
