I am a self-taught artist.  I have been drawing and creating designs ever since I can remember. In 2002, I started painting metal pails for gifts "as a side business".  I guess you could say that one thing led to another and now I live each day as a working artist. Each new day is a new adventure and I am determined to spend each one doing what I love! 

Most days you will find me in my "paint clothes" unleashing some great work of art! I am inspired from everything around me from nature to magazines.  Just a group of colors can set my mind in motion.  Even when I lay my head on my pillow at night I am still dreaming up new designs. I wish I could take a snapshot of the "pillow creations" and put them in a file somewhere until I can get to them.

 I am dedicated to bringing you cute, high quality gifts.  All of my original artwork is done in markers, colored pencils or acrylic.  Each item is perfect for gift giving or if you just want to treat yourself!  I hope you enjoy my designs as much as I enjoy creating them. Thanks you for visiting and be sure to check back for new designs! ~Carmen b.
