Getting ready for LHAF!

Just a few things to get you excited about coming to the Lincoln Highway Arts Fest on Saturday September 19, in Mt.Vernon, Iowa.  

This is done on an old piano panel.  LOVE it. 

Canvas. $150 

New windows! 

Use what you have

It's been a while since I posted some photos of the artwork I've been working on.  It's been a great summer and I've been trying to spend as much time with my boys as I can, so art making hasn't been at it's best.  My muse has taken some vacation time too.  Here are the windows I have!  

 So excited about this one.  You have to have a PERFECT spot for it.....like a space that is 8' high....above a stairs or in a hallway....I know the perfect person will find a spot for it.  I have been using materials I have found around our farm.  This is done on recycled tin from a barn roof.  I wish I had space for it in my house.  ($150)

New Year New Art

Looking forward to creating new art for onemissionfundraising.com and some new canvases in the new year.  Happy 2015!!  

Holiday Open House 2014

Saturday December 6, 2014

607 3rd Ave NW Mt.Vernon, Iowa

9am-4pm

Artwork, handmade goodies, jewelry, food and drink 

You'll find a present for everyone on your list (including you!) 

Here are some of my goodies that will be there.  

Load of windows!

I just received a load of windows from a sweet man who wanted to see something beautiful done with them.  I'll do my best!  Let me know if you have any orders for Christmas!  I have all shapes and sizes. 

This one needs to hang above my bed....but I think it's too big.  52'' by 30'' and ready for a wall ($100) 

Lincoln Highway Arts Fest 2014

LINCOLN HIGHWAY ARTS FEST 2014

Saturday September 27, 9-4pm

Uptown (first street) Mt.Vernon, Iowa

Here are some samplings of what I will have....plus TONS more signs. 

Sauerkraut Days art show!

It's that time of year again......time for art in the yard during Sauerkraut Days!  It will be a bit different this year because I no longer live on Main Street BUT I will still be there.  I'm going to set up in front of Iron Leaf Press 134 East Main in Lisbon on Saturday August 9 (Which happens to be my 11th wedding anniversary)   We'll be set up around 9am and hopefully around until 4ish.  There will be my artwork along with some Scentsy and pallet art by my fellow teacher friends! I will have my windows, signs (LOTS of them...70!) and original illustrations.  

These are two special order windows for a couple in Brooklyn, Iowa.  

This may be my all time favorite window.  I was given four huge storm windows from an old house (which is an amazing blessing in itself) and I have painted on two of them.  They are six feet tall and would make an awesome addition to any house with that hard to find decorating spot (above the stairs perhaps? Or a hallway?)  I wish I had room in my house for this one, but alas.....it will be for sale at Sauerkraut Days for $200.  Hope to see some of you there!
