Growing up I was always amazed by my grandmother's artistic ability. Her paintings are like a photograph, and I dreamed of one day making a masterpiece just like her. While I still do not possess a modicum of her talent, she has inspired me to express myself in my own style, with my own voice. This shop is, in part, dedicated to her and to all those that inspire others to open their mouths, pick up a paintbrush, scribble with a pen, and otherwise make their message heard.

Found this little bell in an antique store this weekend and instantly became a little kid on Christmas morning again. My paternal grandmother had one of these bells in her home and the ringing sounds like childhood.
