We are a mother/daughter
team from the Midwest and we are definitely a parade….even by ourselves. We are
so blessed to do what we have a passion for. We travel during the year attending
various art fairs and selling to specialty gift shops. Other projects we have
done in the past are nurseries, daycares, schools, churches and our newest
project – Sioux Valley’s Pediatric Intensive Care Ward in Sioux Falls, S.D. Our
wonderful and whimsical greeting card line are all hand drawn and hand painted
by watercolor. We not only offer greeting cards but also framed pictures in a
variety of sizes, prints, signs and “add your own photo” signs.
Now, a little about the Goddesses of paint-
My mom
has been an artist
for over 25 years and attended college at Northern State University in Aberdeen
for art. I dabbled in it throughout high school and went into it full time after
two years in college. I learned that unless I was able to create, I was not
happy. In addition, I didn't have much of a choice when my life was filled with
daily artistic messes and art shows during the summer...and for those of you
from Sioux Falls who can go way back, art shows in my own house. I remember the
days when Mom would fill our house with over 50 artists work and open it to the
public for 4 weeks out of the year. It is the house I live in now and it is no
longer filled with merchandise but the toys and love of my baby daughter
Gracie. Also, as most mothers will tell you, the birth of a child changes your
entire perspective on life. Through her young eyes, we are able to see the most
simple and beautiful things in life once again. We hope to enlighten and fill
your days with positivity and laughter through our works. With technology, we
now hope to direct our energy to people that share our passion for the arts and
our love for family, pets, children and life in general. Please feel free to
join us in our journey...May God "Grace" your days with happiness like He has
ours. We look forward to hearing from you.
Always,
Chantel Olson (the daughter) and Pennie Ogden (the mom)
