I would like to give you a little history of myself. For a long as I can remember I have been drawing and painting. So when I got into High School it was only fitting that it became one of my majors. However, I didn't follow that path into a career. That was 20 years ago. It was only just in the last few years that I even picked up a paint brush and became serious about unleashing my artistic tendencies.
A few years back I wanted to do something special for my mother-in-law. See she didn't have wine glasses for special occasions. So I got some and painted grapes and vines on them for a Christmas present. Then came my brother’s birthday. He likes lighthouses and water scenes. So using a cobalt blue bottle I painted that scene onto it for him. You can see the bottle I painted in my design gallery. So I thought to myself what a great idea for any kind of gift. Whether it is Christmas, birthday, a wedding or even an anniversary. Just giving something that is a hand painted one-of-a-kind piece of art, to that someone special.
I was getting such positive and encouraging feedback from my entire family, especially my oldest son. I thought what a great job opportunity; I get to work doing something that I truly enjoy.
I received a special order from a business that requested "Cheesy" art. See it's a company that makes and sells cheese and wine. So I designed a still-life of cheese, a wine bottle and a glass onto a Christmas ornament. They were very pleased and more orders have been taken.
I take much pride in my work and I strive very hard to do my best. I put my whole heart into every item. Every glass, bottle, and ornament that I paint, I paint it as though it was my very own.
I have found that my specialties are: Grapes and vines, hummingbird, lighthouses and scenery, most flower and fruits. I enjoy a challenge so if there is something that you would like specifically done send me a description or better yet a picture and I will give it a try.
Thank you for coming and enjoy looking through my garden of designs. |
