About Me

My photo
I have been drawing all my life and have painted in watercolor, acrylic and mixed media for almost 40 years. I do commission work (painting, drawing, graphic design/logos), a few art festivals, and give private lessons to children in watercolor, drawing and mixed media. I enjoy spending time with my grandchildren, especially teaching/encouraging them in some of my hobbies/interests so they may also express their own creativity as they go through life. I also crochet, embroider, cross stitch, sew, quilt, garden, cook, read and play with my dogs and horses. My husband and I attend many classic car events throughout the year together where we show his 1961 Corvette.

They're back....alphabec's - copyrighted 1983










These are original watercolors done of children's names. I obtained a copyright on the letters for this alphabet back in 1983. The letters are phonetic and are all lower case. I created this alphabet for my daughter, Christine, when she was 3 years old as I was teaching her the sounds that each letter made.

I began painting childrens names using my "alphabec's" for customers by word of mouth and by the end of 5 years I probably had painted several hundred names. I stopped painting my "alphabec's" for several years - only painting them occasionally as gifts for friends or relatives.

It has now been almost 30 years since I created this alphabet and it is still in demand.

Let me paint one for your special someone. I'm sure they will enjoy it for years to come.

$35 for one name or two short names. Request price quote if desiring two long names. Price does not include matting.
