Artists Statement:

“When I begin a miniature painting of a particular animal, landscape, or woodland being, I find myself becoming slowly and completely enamored with God’s perfect creation. With each stroke I am more in awe of this spirit and throw myself into capturing what inspires me. It's a process filled with heart and my hope is that I can convey at least some of this feeling in each painting I create.”

The Secret of Miniature Art

The secret about miniature art is the intense sense of intimacy that is experienced when you hold a piece in your hand. When a piece of art is so small that it can rest in the palm of your hand, you are being gently invited to bring it a little closer to your eyes. You bow your head a bit and bring your hand nearer to your face. This is a very intimate pose. At this moment, you have let the piece of art enter into a vulnerable personal area. You would never hold anything dangerous this close to your face. This is the way you would hold a butterfly or a small kitten; very gently and close. Miniature art is a gift, a treasure, a secret and special friend. ~ Written by Carol Rosinski (find Carol’s website on my Links page) 

What are ACEOs?

 I have been creating miniature paintings that measure 2.5” x 3.5” under the guidelines of ACEO for just over two years. ACEO stands for Art Cards Editions and Originals, a new phenomenon born on eBay and enjoying great success. These miniature paintings are the same size as baseball trading cards, they are collected, stored in card sleeves and albums, framed in groups, and have become quite sought after. My ACEOs are available on eBay.
