eBay My World: henlestudio( 133)

I love to create and paint, and I especially love to do it for private commissions, and bring reflections of what people love into their home and life. The atmosphere surrounding us affects us every day, why not place in it things that inspire?

I sell my paintings, prints, collectors art cards (in limited editions), my watercolors, oils and pastels, pen and pencil drawings, and create paintings for individuals and corporate business. I also create art jewelry from silver/gold, lampwork glass, pearls and gemstone beads. I make traditional Lakota Bone Chokers from horn, leather and bone hollow beads. I was taught by a Native woman in my home state of Minnesota. I only create these on special order- they are time and work intensive. I also do design consulting work, and part-time curate for an artwork sales and leasing company.

Art supplies, what else? Oh, I also buy beautiful gems and stones to make my art jewelry, which is something I love to do in addition to painting. I use pearls, gold, silver, lampwork glass and precious and semi-precious gemstone beads to make earrings, neck pieces and bracelets.

I have a collection of tiny cars, trucks and cute wind-up toys...the really tiny ones. They are fun to see in my art studio. I collect different teacups, and love to do an eclectic table setting with all different ones. I collect sculptures of the Bhudda, horses, and goddess figures, and books on design, primitive art, Fine art, stone and mosaic tilemaking.

English, Bit of Spanish and German.

EBSQ Self-Representing Artists community is a strong presence on eBay, and the web, for self-promotion, information and help developing a better online presence.

I have been in business as an artist for almost 20 years. Currently, I am exploring the unfolding possibilities open to the arts and artists on the internet. The world of art is changing and artist's work is more accessible to collectors directly.

I will work with individuals on payment options, to help them begin collecting, or add to their collections. I use Paypal for most internet business. I will make time payment arrangements via Paypal or checking account on large original paintings and special projects, with a percent downpayment and a signed contract for services. I will lease artwork to businesses locally, with a signed contract and an exchange or buy-out option.

USPS Priority Mail on most small items, UPS on Larger and Original artworks.

If you are a member of LJ community, you can join ArtSource community, a community I created with the goal of providing a place for professional artists, photographers, sculptors and crafters to share information on selling, marketing and promoting their artwork both off and online. It is also a good art supply marketplace, where artists sell, buy or trade art supplies, tell of art opportunities in local communities, national shows, online shows, etc. It's a great community!
