| Introduction | My artwork is an ecclectic mix of acrylic paint, watercolor, varnishes, alcohol, crushed rocks & other found & recycled objects. Each piece evolves into its' own organic form, I just embellish upon it! I paint on a wide variety of surfaces such as furniture, walls, canvas, tile, wood, plaster, metal and any other animal-friendly paintable objects. (no leather, bone, etc. I only use synthetic brushes, cotton cloth, paper,wood & cardboard,& my hands to create with- all animal friendly mediums!)(all feathers recycled/ given to me by a friend w/ bird rescue) My work is featured in many galleries, botiques,& shops in Wisconsin,Raven's Wish Gallery in Janesville, & Avant Gallery in Miami, Fl. It can also be found in numerous homes & collections around the globe. I also work as a decorative painter, muralist, tattoo designer,and as an employee at a health food store. I am an animal rights activist,& a piano teacher. Each unique piece will add a glittering splash to any space. To purchase a painting, please contact me at athens62@charter.net I accept Paypal or Visa/Mastercard. |
| Interests | My main interests are animal rights and activism, so that is how I spend much of my time.

I am also on myspace (www.myspace.com/allegrea) I love anything vegan (especially dark chocolate and donuts!), painting, experimenting with paint and other mediums and substances (salts, oils, minerals, rock chips, etc.)I love tumbling rocks, making jewelry, beadwork, and other various items for sale at craft sales, animal activism with our group, Alliance for Animals,R.co., and I like to stay home and spend time with my critters. I also have fun metal detecting! :) |
