Marie Smith The Artisan Bothy, Smith Wild Photo, She Wordsmiths

An award-winning businesswoman and a multi-business owner.

I have come to realise having a few strings to your bow helps iron out the seasonal peaks and troughs. And it means there is rarely a dull moment. Here is a wee peek into my three main business strands:

The Artisan Bothy: Upcycling furniture and upholstery. Retail and commissions.

Smith Wild Photo: inspired by our love of wildlife photography, selling our own unique prints, greetings cards, calendars and fine art.

She Wordsmiths: a writer on travel, photography, food, lifestyle and personal reflections. Published in travel and photography magazines

Some of my other accomplishments include MBW Moray Business Woman 2015, past president of Moray Business Woman 2017, former ASb committee member. In 2017 I joined a life changing trek for charity in the Moroccan Sahara followed by volunteering in South Africa in 2018.
