Happy Auer Arts is a small business founded by artist Hannah Auer. From a very young age, I was driven to create and spread happiness through my artwork. After graduating college with a bachelor’s degree in Intermedia Art and a minor in art history, I knew that my dream to become a fulltime artist was so close, yet so far away. Being a fulltime artist was something I knew wouldn’t be an easy task. From working multiple jobs alongside building my clientele for Happy Auer Arts, to moving constantly due to the military, it took years of patience. Once my husband and I moved to Minot, I decided it was time to take the next step and become a legitimate North Dakota small business owner.
