The Gift of Art Appreciation Begins at Home

Children are naturally open to art and love to express themselves by painting, drawing, and sculpting with clay. They are also fascinated and inspired by the creations of others. Displaying artwork with appealing colors and content can help develop children’s early appreciation of art, and make a house feel like home.

Queen of the Trailer Park Adds Sass with Class

No stranger to life’s struggles, artist Diane Holland Gregory emphasizes the positive and lets her spirituality and heart shine brightly through her Queen of the Trailer Park artwork. The unusual name of this collection comes from when Diane was at a crossroads in life, and started on a new path creating her wonderful works of art, which she proudly displayed in various RV parks from her “fixer upper” travel trailer, festively adorned with pink flamingo twinkle lights.

Today, Diane has become a successful artist, and shows her art from several stationary locations, but she hasn’t lost any of her fantastic free spirit. She blends funky and fun with color and animal magnetism, to create a genre of hearts, peace signs, crosses and more. Especially for tweens, the upbeat messages are appropriate as a beautiful representation of the transition from child to young adult. Each piece inspires determination and a will to succeed, even as emotions run wild. The new generation is here, and Queen of the Trailer Park helps to brighten their lives through the magic and beauty of art.

Renditions by Reesa Captures the Delights of Childhood.

Renditions by Reesa perfectly captures a world of childhood dreams and delights. Renowned artist Reesa Qualia provides the vision and designs for all of the beautiful art in the collection. Her marvelous creations feature an abundance of styles and themes suitable from birth to teen.

As her artwork is in great demand, Reesa is unable to create all the pieces herself, so she employs a talented group of artisans in Sri Lanka to recreate her original designs. Most Renditions by Reesa products are hand-painted by this talented group, and each piece possesses unique qualities which capture the essence of Reesa’s handmade originals.

The vast collection includes paintings, banners, step stools, growth charts, photo frames and so much more. Renditions by Reesa offers children breath-taking art that connotes tranquility, and reflects the innocence and simplicity of days gone by.
