Where are you from? and a little bit about you
I reside in Amherst, Wisconsin. I work out of my private studio nestled out on our country farm. I love to decorate, and create one of a kind items that are inspirational, functional and decorative. I have been a freelance artist for 20 years. I am a proud mother of three beautiful children who LOVE to paint and be creative with me.
I opened my shop with the idea of creating something that no one else had come up with, so I played around with picture mats to see what fun things I could do with them. Not only are the mats so versatile, but they can be a really cool decorative addition to your home decor. I hand paint them as well as embellish them with amazing decorative papers. Pop them right into an existing frame, and create a whole new look. I found a huge positive response from family and friends, so I used them for my merchandise on Etsy.
What is your biggest inspirations when creating a new item?
Do you have a blog, twitter, or facebook page?
I have opened a Facebook page called “Etsy Buyers” I am hoping to create a group that is willing to share things that they have found to buy on Etsy. The more exposure the better, so any one can post their shop on this page as well.
Paige was kind enough to send me a photo mat to review. I am in love. I am all for matting a nice photo and this adds the perfect personal touch. My mat is light green with red flowers. Those are perfect colors for the Dining Room. Paige’s hand painting is unique and beautiful. Her lines are flowing and she has an eye for the right amount of décor in just the right place. She has kept the mats simple enough that she does not take away from the photograph but decorated enough that you feel that special touch. Flowers are not the only object Paige has painted on her mats. Some of my top favorites are strawberries, butterflies, and music notes. I am sure that you will be able to find the perfect mat for that special photo you are in need of framing! Go check out her shop! You will fall in love with it as much as I have!
