Hello, my name is Paula Chinowith and I am a self taught painter.  

I began painting after watching and admiring my friend Susie's
painting skills.  I was in awe of how she could turn something so
plain into a real work of art.  So I decided I too would try my hand
at painting.  I hoped that decorative painting would at least be a
fantastic hobby or a great stress reliever or both.  So I purchased a
few painting books and began my journey.  Now after many hours
of practicing, and it sure wasn't as easy as she made it look, I find
myself six years later totally
consumed!  It is no longer just a hobby
but a business and one that I enjoy immensely.

I still to this day paint on just about every surface that I can get my
hands on!  Some of the items I offer on my website are new, some
are trash to treasure finds.  What I enjoy most, I think, is giving a
new life to something that's been discarded and turning that unique
find into a beautiful one of a kind hand painted home accent.  

Prior to 2005, which is when I began my website business, I painted
primarily for clients, friends and for local craft shows in our area.  
Thanks to the Internet, I'm now able to sell my products through out
the United States.

So I hope you enjoy your visit and that you get the chance to come
back often to see what new items I've added.  

Painting has truly blessed my life.
