Sometimes you don't realize that painting or finishing furniture can cost more than painting walls. There are so many steps involved; prepping, priming, sanding, first coats, sanding ,second coats, sanding, antiquing, gold leafing, antiquing again..... it goes on and on. But the result is one of a kind, special, and lovely, so in the end its worth it!

I do NOT know the current value of any of the Lithographs on the secondary market.
I don't resell or purchase any of my Litho's from people wanting to sell theirs, nor do I know where you can try and resell them. I can't respond to email or phone messages regarding these questions, there are just to many. SORRY!
My Grandfather was my biggest supporter, larger than life and a great salesman. When I was 18, during the Teddy Bear craze, he took my teddy-bear watercolors into a little shop called Bears In the Woods and sold them my art, After that I couldn't paint fast enough and he sold them to more stores. I then started painting carousel and bam, they sold like hotcakes. He decided to have lithographs made so I wouldn't burn out painting them and he sold and distributed them all over the world. At 19 it was such fun going into a shop at Disney Land and seeing my work!
I truly am grateful for all he did, and the fun we had traveling to galleries and shops together meeting people. He gave me confidence in myself and in my art, and allowed me to make a living doing what I love...
