About Me and why these tiles?
Having worked for over 30 years in Healthcare industry and 12 years in t
he restaurant industry, I have turned my focus to my passion – art. Since the impediment and inability to travel – many of us have a longing for viewing our favorite pieces of art and miss traveling to historical and modern museums – I am one of those people!
From this desire, I have begun using my art skill to create tiles that will bring history and art to you. Many of these are religious icons in nature and will touch your spiritual nature, and bring you peace and tranquility to your home – as well as esthetic beauty.
I also am tired of gift giving being a rout dynamic. Gift cards are NOT a solution to gift giving. Personalization means so much more and is long remembered for posterity. Having a tangible gift that is customized to fit the occasion and personalized with the person’s name becomes a meaningful expression of your love.
We are inner connected. Expressing beauty and safety and love cannot be fulfilled with a gift card. With this in mind, I will create what you feel in your heart and wish to express. Let’s work together to bring peace and harmony to others through thoughtful gift giving.
Each item purchased is made to order by me. Please allow 3-5 days to handcraft your order. Inspired by the famous icon paintings, my collections consists of replicas of authentic old world iconic works.
For the icons, I have chosen only the classic, timeless beauty representing the striking images of Christ, Mary, Mother of God, Angels, Saints and more. Using the finest quality materials each piece is authenticated to insure that my fine art replica will become a treasured family keepsake. Handcrafted in ceramic and often wood, my replicas of authentic Old World Iconic Art are wonderful to frame and hang on your wall. These beautiful icon ornaments are the perfect gift for every occasion and for family and friends alike. *Some items may have slight variations due to the handcrafted nature of the art, inks and wood-grains. Thank you for your support to the unique Icon Artistry and to the Artistic community in the USA.
MY THOUGHTS ON GIFT GIVING:
For weddings/christening/baptisms/birthdays or whatever: The new “tradition” of asking for your gifts through “wish lists” and “registries” is disdainfully rude – especially assuming everyone has the economic situation to purchase your overpriced, pretentious items. Nobody wants to pay $120 for one spoon.
Gifts are expressions from the giver to the recipient – not something demanded by the honoree. A gift that is truly given in the spirit of genuine love through personalization cannot be replaced.
MATERIALS USED:
I use only the top quality materials which are Environment Friendly and low impact to the planet. Tiles are made from clay and mud – elements of the earth. They touch the spirit and soul through the craftsmanship and style. My paints and inks are nontoxic.
