Every Jake, Jill, and Betsy -- Come Follow Me To Etsy!

RENDERED BY RENA

Online Source For Art, Vintage Raiments, Distinctive Wares

The Story:  I have long been a painter and thrift shop habitué, and was raised by family to appreciate vintage fashion, design, and novelties.  My first experiences as a buyer and seller were in early 2008 when I signed-in to a then-fledging auction database called eBay.  Friends have prodded me for years to open my own store for art and antiques, and very possibly the elaborate and thoughtful custom gift wrapping I dabble in.  If I could, I would also work as an online flower arranger ...but technology is going restrict me there.  In recent years I have concentrated more seriously on creating work to fulfill an art series called "Just Desserts", featuring still-life renderings of iconic American novelty foods.  I also enjoy photography and may use this site as a means for extending my perspective, which often delves towards dark humor.  I eagerly accept suggestions and custom orders if feasible.  I indulge in a range of styles, both realistic and abstract, and am confident employing acrylics, latex house paints, watercolors, pencil, marker, spray paint, and beyond.  I will likely focus on selling older material goods rather than my own work, but we'll see where things lead.  Best wishes and gratitude for this overdue opportunity to express myself.
