"I've been painting all of my life. It seems like ever since I was a little girl I had a pencil or crayons in my hand. My mom painted too ... she loved to paint. We took several classes together and that special time we spent sharing a common passion was so rewarding. I do oil and acrylic painting now, and make prints of all my original work, which are also available for purchase. I am happy to accept requests for commissioned art and enjoy bringing a client's dream images to life.

I will paint the world any color you want!"

"I have always enjoyed trying to master the art of

painting and still consider myself a novice, painting mostly for myself, and I enjoy making bead jewelry. I try to attend as many classes the guild offers and recommend everyone to do the same."

"I’ve always found joy in the process of trying to make an idea come to life. It doesn’t matter if it turns out the way I envisioned or if It’s surprising and unexpected. I have this desire to make it anyway. I occasionally sell original work at the MVAG. You can follow my journey on Instagram @bitzierachell"
