None of the art in my home is super expensive or status-y, but it makes me really happy and enhances my life. I have six pieces by my brother in law who doesn't even call himself an artist, but he is. His pieces are beautiful and full of love and family.

We grew up surrounded by hand made treasures ( and lots of ugly knick knacks) so it's no wonder we went into the arts.Cynthia Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11843134038834188332noreply@blogger.com
