OUR STORY
Hey Besties! It’s Becky Limon,
I am a 22-year-old artist currently operating out of central North Carolina. The reason I say ‘currently’ is because I am a part of a military family, and my location will regularly change as the years go on - I am from Illinois though! My business is woman owned, queer owned, and I am disabled. Westlane Avenue is my creative outlet that allows working to be accessible to me, as I make inclusive and accessible products for you!
Westlane Avenue is an artistic/stationery business centered around making art as accessible and as sustainable as possible. I am personally disabled, so this art business has been both an accessible creative outlet for me, as well as a way for others to have art pieces they can feel proud to own. We carry size inclusive apparel, and keep allergies in mind with our jewelry. Our stationary items also focus on mobility issues, and making stationery easy to use for those individuals. At events we also take cash and card to make it easier for shoppers! We currently sell on Etsy as well as Shopify, we left our Etsy open for accessibility sake - but prices have been adjusted between the two platform’s fees.
Professionally, I wear many hats. You may have found my website from my personal tiktok @itsbeckylimon, or from my gaming account on the streaming platform, Twitch, under the handle AmethystBabyy. You may have also met me vending at various artist alley events, dispensaries, or festivals. Now if you have no idea what I am talking about, welcome anyway! In this setting, I am an artist and creator. I sell hand-painted skateboard decks, original paintings, hypoallergenic earrings, apparel, stickers, bookmarks, and I’m sure I will find another hobby turned product to add to this list ;)
Westlane Avenue may seem like a bit of an obscure name. Traditionally, a street name has “Lane” or “Avenue”, why does this have both? Believe me, this question plagued my entire childhood. Up until I was four, my dad owned a house on Westlane Avenue in Illinois. We moved two times after that, and I have moved even more since getting married. The reason ‘Westlane Avenue’ has such a level of significance to me is my dad passed away when I was 16. He was my cheerleader when it came to my creative passions and dreams. He had (and failed) at the small business journey, but still encouraged me to take a stab at it - and I think he would be super proud and excited by this community you all have allowed me to have.
