Welcome to Paintings and Jewelry by TCP

Tell everyone about your crafts/products. This is what you would like to say to everyone as they walk in the door of our store.

I am an artist at heart. But, before I was struck with fairly rare chronic illness, I was also very physically active, so my art took the form of movement. I was a competitive diver, a gymnast and most recently I taught Creative Dance to preschool children as well as dancing myself. I am also a published author and was a public speaker for woman's conferences and retreats.

But life has taken a very unexpected turn. I am now a full time visual artist and jewelry maker.

I began painting after my illness stripped me of all my other activities and I especially love to paint with watercolor. But you will see a variety of mediums in my store. I also began making and collecting ACEO's - a miniature sized original art!

The jewelry is an outcome of having to wear a Medical Alert ID bracelet. I didn't like the look of the chain so I learned to make beautiful beaded bracelets to match my outfits. I now offer them in my TCPJewelry store on Etsy. But the fun I had with the bracelets has led to creating earrings and other fun jewelry too!

I live for two goals: To love God and to love others. My artwork is an outcome of these two passions. I create in love to my Father God for his saving grace through his son Jesus and I hope for my art and my correspondences with customers to show my love for them.

I thank God for the the strange way he has brought me to a place of creating and selling art and I thank all of those that come and enjoy it and see Him in the midst of the creations.
