My art is now on clothing!!! An amazing dream come true!!





Hi Everyone!!

I am so totally excited to tell all of you that I was invited recently to submit my artwork to an amazing, new clothing design company called VIDA. They present works from artists all over the world through their beautiful and stylish scarves, blouses, dresses and other designs. They also help provide wonderful jobs for people in many other countries through the opportunities to manufacture the artist's designs into VIDA's stunning fashions.

My art was accepted after submitting my photos, so I created my own design page on VIDA's gorgeous website. I am thrilled and amazed to be a part of their incredible company. This has been a dream of mine for many years.....to have my paintings, nature art and works in other mediums turned into beautiful fashion designs. Hopefully, this is just the beginning of a wonderful new career for me as I am really excited to pour all of my energy into such a fabulous opportunity. The photos above are just a few of the designs from my paintings that are available through VIDA's "print on demand" format. I have about 25 designs so far, a few are still in the process of being approved. Hope you'll visit my design page to see these amazing pictures!! I'm so excited!!

Mike was also invited to submit his art to VIDA. They were very excited for him to share his work so he has created a design page on their website and is awaiting a final approval, but I don't think there will be any doubt that they will absolutely love his creativity and his unique artistic style. We have been working all week on our design pages and wanted to share this exciting news with all of you! Here is the link to my new VIDA Design page: (Mike's should be available within the next few days and we'll send that to you, too!) 


Be sure to look at all of VIDA's website (www.shopvida.com). It is so beautifully presented, especially the wonderful video on the main page under "Story" or "The VIDA Story". It really expresses their wonderful innovative ideas and the amazing sensitivity they have towards artists as well as focusing on their goal of helping lift the lives of those in need while sharing beauty and elegance in the world. I've watched their video (and the others they have on their website) many times and have been impressed again and again by how thoughtful and deep thinking they are about their company and those they work with.

You will also see the many other designers (artists of every medium) who are from all over the world and will be able to view their beautiful artwork through the lovely VIDA fashions. There are many ways to look through VIDA's website so I hope you will be able to enjoy the very artistic way in which they have presented their company. It's all beautiful!!

We're so grateful and happy for this wonderful opportunity and wanted to share all of this with you! Another dream come true and it just came to us out of the blue!! Amazing.
