You are worried about seeing him spend his early years in doing nothing.  What!  Is it nothing to be happy?  Nothing to skip, play, and run around all day long?  Never in his life will he be so busy again.  ~Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Emile, 1762

RECITAL TIME


Here's a unique and thoughtful way to thank your child's dance teacher for a great year of dancing






Or how about for the little dancer herself.
Moms are always searching for a unique gift, well search no more!




First Communion

Celebrate a First Communion with a custom dish in the colors of your choice.  Name, date, and church can also be added.  Great for signatures too!

Legacy of an Adopted Child


This is, hands down, the most meaningful dish I've painted to date.  The poem says it all.
I'm so honored to be a part of something so special.

Auction Items


 I kept myself busy last year with an auction for the local elementary schools.  Twenty-six platters went up for auction, each with the children's fingerprint for their face.  This item is always a huge hit with Moms and Dads and make such a wonderful keepsake.

Teacher Gifts

End of the school year seems a fitting time to show your childs teacher how much you appreciate them.  For this dish, I worked closely with a mom who appreciated all that her daughters teacher did throughout the school year.  Together we came up with this very unique design to thank her. 


Later the teacher told me "she'll treasure it forever".
