Looking for the Real Thing?
Purchasing an original is a big deal.
Not only is the price demanding, but you're investing in something unique, one of a kind, fragile, and ultimately an asset to you and your legacy.
Sounds deep, but art collecting truly is just that.
My goal this year is to make my originals
more obtainable to you. Throughout the year you will find them on
Facebook in a photo album, here under
Art for Sale, and hopefully soon on my
website.
The blog is the simplest way to purchase an original. Visit
Art for Sale (found at the top of this page), find the piece, and click
Purchase.
It goes through
Paypal, and if that doesn't work for you, please
Email me and we can make an arrangement. If you've ever done business with me, then you know I'll do whatever is in my abilities to make it work for you.
Buying art isn't like buying something from the store, it's an investment...remember? I make that investment too by serving you, getting to know who you are, and if possible check in and see how that piece is working for you and your home.
I also create Custom Work If you're interested in owning an original, but don't see one you'd like to purchase simply request a custom piece by visiting my
Etsy shop and contacting me through the
"Request custom item" link there, or email me.
New works will be added often, so keep your eye on the
Art for Sale page by bookmarking it!
Don't want anyone to miss out!

Sara, I just had a look at your Etsy Shop and I was very undecided on which item I love more from yours, but than I come throgh this sketch with the fairy and I knew immediately it was it.
"ORIGINAL - Lady Fairy with Sweet Peas and Stripes - 6x8 Pencil Drawing"
Probably the clean aspect of the pencil or the fact that you can see how the delicious face was built or maybe because it leaves space to fantasy, or all this together has hit me.
For sure, I would have want to be the one who has made it!

it's either 'sleeping angel with cat' or 'sleeping mermaid dreaming butterflies' - they're both lovely. though all your work conveys a sort of serene joy. I do like mermaids more than the other creatures.
