Marie Bolton grew up in Craig and worked as a graphic designer at Chaos Ink. Being creative is what they were known for - they made the high school's bulldog mascot from scratch and pet portraits for the community. 

Marie is now in school in Grand Junction to achieve a certificate as a lineman. Although art is still very much a big part of their live, it was getting harder to do art as a profession. They knew they wanted to get into a trade so they used their experience with Chaos Ink's traveling booth to get involved in the lineman culture.
