"As a participating artist at The Eclectic Chic Boutique, I’ve really enjoyed connecting  with so many other local artists and creators that I never would have met. Not only do I sell my work, but I also take classes from the other artists, give talks and teach as well.  We all support one another in the spirit of community which is so unique and rewarding. Kristen has created a really special place."
​- Carol Cohn

Owner and Founder

Kristen Zachares founded The Eclectic Chic Boutique February 2017. After 6 years of professionally creating crafts and bringing them to a variety of markets, shows, and festivals her unique enterprising spirit took off.  Over the years she created a network of artists and artisans she met at the various shows, and through her memberships at entrepreneurial organizations. She found the majority of artists she met wanted to be makers, and found it challenging to make product and market a business. Kristen was inspired to help these artists, understanding the challenge herself of being both a maker and a businesswoman. She found she had the passion and energy to market and promote artists' work, so The Eclectic Chic Boutique was founded. Kristen teaches craft classes and creates her own line of crafts, but her true passion lays in helping others and creating a community of creative personalities.
