The People of Darfur Need YOUR Help!




The people of Darfur are suffering and YOU CAN HELP!

The wonderful portrait artist, Enzie Shahmiri, has painted the above painting of a little Sudanese girl at a feeding center in Darfur, which she auctioning off on Ebay to raise funds. 100% of all proceeds will be donated to the United Nations UNHCR to aid the people of Darfur.

The auction will take place on October 1, 2008 on Ebay through Mission Fish and will run for approximately 10 days.

Painting size 14" x 18"
Oil on canvas

Sneak Peak At My Newest Etsy Shop Offering





I have a new line of signs I am about to post in my Etsy shop but I thought I'd give my blog readers a sneak peak first.

Are you looking for the perfect gift for the new baby in your life?
Is your son or daughter getting his or her own room for the first time?

Let me design a personalized name sign for you. Each sign is unique in it's design. No two will be exactly alike.

Most of the design work is done before hand in Adobe Illustrator and/or Photoshop so you can approve it before any wood is cut. My name signs are painted on Belizean pine using latex and/or acrylic paints and the size of the sign will vary depending on your child's name.

All signs are sealed for durability with a clear protective spray.

Coming soon!
