If you want to see a local artist grow and perfect their craft, manipulate their trade

  to their best abilities, you need to support them.  Most artists I know make this

  possible on any budjet, or actually, by passing on their names to others who

  might have an interest, no budjet at all!  Most of us create what we do because

  it is us, that's what we do.  We make things, paint things, build things because

  that is who we are and that is how we express ouselves.  If you like what we do

  your telling us that gives us strength and your buying something from us gives

  us the ability to create something even better!  We try to make it easy for you

  to do this: a painter might have an original piece for $14,000 but is also

  offering you a signed copy for $400 or a postcard for $10 or a business card to

share with your friends for nothing: support the art you like and pass it along!

  We all do the equivalent of that.  Although some of what I do may cost $12,000

  or more, I have many individual art pieces for under $300, most of my ornamental

  iron trellis's are $100, some garden pedestals for $29 and steel garden stakes

  with various (so you can collect the series!) finials for just $5.00 each!  All

  customers are welcome!  If I do a good job for you I know you will tell one or

  two of your friends, but if I do a bad job I know you will tell ten of your friends!

  I always do the best that I can and I always try to make the next project the best

  ever!  Support all artist.  We all feel this way and we all need your support!
