About
dandelion
art
My name is
Marie and I'm a mom and an artist. I love to draw and
paint. I do my painting at night when
all 3 kids are
asleep.
When I'm
not painting, I like putting together puzzles, making hotdogs out of
play
dough,
and snaking train tracks all around the house with my kids!
How did dandelion
art
came about? It all started out with this painting I did of my
son's rubber ducky for
his bathroom.
A friend thought it was
lovely and suggested that I sell my paintings. When
a local
children's
boutique saw my paintings, I ended up selling 5 of them on
the spot! From that point on,
dandelion art
began to sprout
from
my little studio at home.
Why "dandelion"
you ask? I didn't pay much attention to dandelions until my 2
sons, ages 3 and 1
at the
time, started
picking them off my lawn and surprising me with
bouquets of them. "Look, Mommy! I got
flowers for
you!" At
first
the "gifts" reminded me of my poor neglected lawn, but after many many
bright
yellow bouquets
from my boys each spring, dandelions became one
of my favorite "flowers." I've found
that dandelions
are
beautiful, send warm yellow sunshines and are magical. When the flower
turns to seed,
you can blow
them off the stem, sending those little
helicopters flying and somehow you get your wish.
A lot of my
inspiration comes
from my kids and their toys. I like to
capture childhood
treasures like my son's
favorite toy
train at age 2. I hope
you
enjoy my paintings! Please do not hesitate to contact me if
you'd
like to request
a painting or any of the products I offer.
Thank
you for visiting!
