TUCSON, Ariz. — The pandemic forced many small business owners to close up shop for good, but for one determined artist, she wasn’t ready to let her dreams die."There was that thought in the back of my mind where this could just not work out," she said when asked about her thought process when the idea came about.
The first challenge, she says, was finding a bus, which she did in March last year on Craigslist. The second challenge was the 11-month restoration of the bus, which she says she did all on her own. She said"people are very shocked" when they find out she completed the entire restoration project on her own.
