I've been taking pictures for as long as I can remember. My love for gardening took
hold while I became a Master Gardener & Master Composter. My photography went in the direction of all the beautiful
flowers I grew, the birds, bugs & critters that visited me in nature and the gardens I visited. I became
serious about sharing my beautiful Nature Photographs in 2004 and started Flowers with Feelings From the Future™ Original Nature Photo Note Cards. I took the photographs, and printed the cards
myself using waterproof archival ink. I would sell these cards at Craft Fairs and by special orders. The business
grew to add my great pictures onto Tile Coasters, Magnets and onto Canvas and Wall hangings that I would make myself.
However, the business became more about me making the products than me taking the photographs which I wanted to focus
my time.
I discovered my CafePress Shop and my Printfection Shop
where I took the photographs and formatted them for the specific products that these on-demand printing companies produce.
This allows me to sell my photographs on all these great products and still have time to go take more great photographs
all over the world.
Then I learned how to create Fractal Art. I fumbled
around with special fractal software that uses mathmatics to create these fabulously unique geometric artworks.
This became a small section of my web shops because of what the images looked like. Check out my Alien Abduction
or my Fractal Love and especially my Too Much Caffeine. I'm not a math wiz by any means, but working with Fractals really
peaked my interest with the different designs that were created. It catered to my love of scifi. I hope
you enjoy them!
My mother, the late artist Sonya P., became creative
with her ink drawings that she requested me to make into Note Cards like I did with my photos. That
started the division called "Abstracts From The Imagination & Beyond™", Original
Paintings from the Mind of Sonya P. It started out with 9 ink drawings. Then in April 2007 she past
away. When I was cleaning out her house, I discovered over 150 Original Watercolor Artworks she had painted. This
started me on the quest of photographing all these great Watercolors for placement on the products on my 2 web shops.
I wanted to
find a company that could print my mother's paintings with the Professional Artistry that she used to create her Original
Paintings. That is when I discovered my Imagekind Fine Art Gallery. This is a Professional Fine Art Print On Demand
Company that will Print my mother's Original Watercolor Paintings for you in the manner that they deserve.
High Museum Quality Posters, Framed and Matted to your specifications or on Canvas rolled and sent to you to frame yourself.
I am very pleased with the High Level of Artistry this company produces. Imagekind has also starting producing
Greeting Cards with as High a Quality. Check out the home page to read all about it! I hope you will also
be pleased.
Once I have all of the Original Watercolors photographed,
some will go to family members, one to the Art Council where she won awards for some of her artworks, and the rest, I
will be selling at the Craft Fairs and online.
I am working as fast as I can to photograph all her
Original paintings as well as still continue to upload and format all my original nature photos for placement on the products
on my web shops. This is a very time comsuming project and will be going on for at least the next year (2007-2008).
New Watercolors (images) and Nature Photos and Fractals
are being uploaded to my 2 web shops & GCU Card Shop and my new Imagekind Fine Art Gallery everyday.
So, please save this Portal Website in your Favorites & keep checking back for the latest additions.
If anyone is interested in purchasing the actual Original
Watercolor Artworks from the late artist, Sonya P., please email me at the email address on this website. If it is not
given to family members or sold yet, I will consider offers for her Original works.
As time goes on and my travels get more extensive, I will
be adding new photographs to the Web Shops & Art Gallery.
Since the CafePress Shop now produces 5x7 Greeting
& 4x6 Note & Postcards, that are of a more professional quality than I can produce, I will be discontinuing the
sale my self created Note Cards once they sell out at Craft Fairs. I will be having an online sale in the coming
months for these Cards.
Now that I have opened my new GCU Card Shop you can purchase
my Photos, Fractal & Shared Feelings & my mother's Artwork on Large Single 5x7 Quality Greeting
Cards or as many as you need. They will address and mail them for you after you add your message inside if you
don't like the message I have placed inside the cards. Get a discount on bulk orders and more! I am working as
fast as I can to get the photos I have online already for purchase onto my GCU Shop. If there is one
photo that you know of on my other shops, that you would like to purchase on my GCU Card Shop, please email me the name
from the other web shop and I will get it formatted ASAP for you to purchase on my GCU Shop.
My goal is to be able to travel the world taking great
nature photos for everyone to enjoy on the many High Quality Cards & Gift Items I can find.
I hope you enjoy them as I perfect my photography skills for you to have in your collections.
Sincerely,
Shari
