Biography

Hand Painted Originals

After years of painting I have acquired many beautiful pieces. Space is the problem. A new section has been added to my site to sell some of those one of a kind original works.

These stunning painted pieces have been featured in my books, magazines or pattern packets. Some are well traveled, having been shipped around the country to display in my booth, while others are as fresh and crisp as the day they were painted.

Check back often, more painted samples will be added in the future. They will not be the same paintings you see now.

Have a look to see what’s there and thanks for stopping by.

Cheers, Connie

Here are a few of my original handpainted items that need a new home.
Many of the pieces are well traveled and some have been in storage, all
are featured in my books or packets.

All paintings are signed. See the notes on each selection for the overall condition.
