Brenda Ramseier, The Art Giraffe

 My favorite medium is currently pen and ink, but liquid graphite is coming pretty close. I do watercolor, acrylic, pastels, and some scratch board too or anything that looks like an art medium and fun! In 2015 I opened the Art Giraffe studio after I retired from teaching. I love teaching and sharing my passion for art.

 Cast leaves created by Diana Iden. Believe it or not - these are actually made from concrete. Weatherproofed for indoor or outdoor use. They look beautiful in your garden or as an accent in a pot. They also look fantastic on a mantel or as a centerpiece!
