When a Holiday arrives and you find yourself scrambling for the perfect gift, look for gifts year round during your travels and shopping excursions. I love to give gifts which I have tried, own and want for myself.  Your gift giving takes on bigger meaning and purpose when you promote the talents of a creator and support shopping local.  Here is a sampling of gifts I will be giving which are inspired by my paintings.  Let us also remember that giving original art should always be on your top list of gift ideas (that includes YOU)!

• Single Stem White Phalaenopsis from Orchids by Hausermann
• Blossom Candle Stick Holder from City Haus Chicago
