Digital BW, The Print

She does consider herself to be a famous local artist.   No doubt about that.  

It is hard to visit a home in this city without seeing one or more of her images on refrigerator door magnets.  

This artist has taken the images from her larger canvases and used them on tissue (kleenex) boxes, waste bins, stationery, boxes, magnets, purses, paper weights, etc...

There is money in this...she sells tons of this stuff and local people who are looking for an "artsy" gift know where to go to buy it.. lots of price points, lots of customers.  You can buy something from $10 to $3,000.

  In other words if your art gets to hang over the urinals in the men's
  washroom, in the basement, you can consider yourself a "famous" local
  artist?  ;-) Just kidding....

  the urinals....got me chuckling and helped me determine not to donate my art
