Featured Etsy Artist - Danita Art

Today's featured Etsy Artist is Danita Art.  She is an artist who offers Original Paintings, Collages, Mixed Media Creations, Original Art Dolls, Soft Sculpture Plush Dolls, ACEO Cards, Giclee Prints and Fiber Art.  The piece below is called "Love at Home", perfect for Valentine's Day.  It's a giclee reproduction mounted on wood block .

I first noticed Danita's Etsy site while doing a search for Frida Kahlo, one of my favorite artists. Click here for a sample of Danita's Frida art.

From the artist:
"My name is Danita, I am a self taught Mixed Media Artist and maker of things.  Art is my gateway. When I create, I travel to a word where everything is possible.... It keeps me sane in a crazy world that spins faster than my head can....

This peaceful wonderland is dying to escape into our reality, and it does it through my art.... Every time you look at my paintings, you leave a comment or you take one home, you share a piece of that dreamworld with me.  And I thank you for it, deeply, from the bottom of my heart. Because you let me know that a dreamer can dream, and that my dream is not that crazy after all."
