Inventions and ideas unfortunately sometimes stay just that. But Jean Newell decided to turn her ideas into a business and changed her title to "entrepreneur."

She was a stay-at-home mom who had an idea. A simple, easy way for millions to create beautiful works of art. Seemingly overnight, Donna Dewberry and her One Stroke painting technique became a huge hit on PBS and QVC.

Jean Newell never set out to become an inventor. She simply needed a better way to carry around her stuff. So, fueled by little more than common sense and desire, Jean turned a $20,000 investment into a million dollar company.
