Our banner this month features work by nature artist, Steven Ball.
Framed  
Steven Ball: Winter Raven, signed & numbered Giclée on deckle edge paper, 7/150. Image size 10" x 12" 
 
Steven Louis Ball is a wildlife artist who enjoys studying and painting many different kinds of birds and animals - from the majestic eagle to the most common critter. It has been said that every painting in some way becomes a self-portrait of its creator. Steven's passionate involvement with nature is obvious in his work. Besides paintings, Steven has limited edition etchings, lithographs and Giclées. Steven attended Pacific Union College, Napa, and the prestigious Art Center College of Design, Pasadena. He is represented by Island International. Click HERE to see all our Island International artists.

Framing Story of the Month
Big Bucks  
Ben and his sheet of dollar bills 
Framed sheet of dollar bills. 
Ben Jenkins framed this sheet of $1 bills. "My father worked for the treasury department and got this when I was born so I'm framing it in remembrance of him. The Framer's Workshop is great! Great help figuring out what frame and matting to use and the custom framers did an excellent job!"

If you have a story accompanying your artwork, be sure to tell us when you come in.
