<p>I am the owner and Chief Saponifier at Martinsville Emporium, an artisan gallery and soap boutique located in North Tonawanda, NY. I have been making soap since 2002, and in 2011 I opened a brick and mortar store where people can watch me make soap, bath and body products, and soy candles, as well as a variety of locally handmade products from about 40 local artisans.</p> <p>In what little spare time I have, I bother my husband, listen to our son ramble on about video games, and/or watch our daughter play juinor roller derby.</p>
