Time to Celebrate Jeanine...she's in Where Women Create & having a PARTY!

I could not be any more honored than to dedicate my "Business of the Studio" column in  the new issue of Where Women Create magazine to my friend, fellow artful entrepreneur and mentor, Jeanine Taylor...

Through the years Jeanine has taught me 

-- and so many of us engaged in the art world

 -- so very much.  

I am truly grateful to know Jeanine and celebrate the acknowledgement in print of her creative business approach, tenure in he art word and her downright hard work...she deserves much praise for all she has done to cultivate and share her know how...

Thanks to Jo Packham, Editor in Chief of

 Where Women Create magazine

for featuring Jeanine.

 

Here's the media release from 

Jeanine's gallery in Sanford, FL below...

 

Perhaps you're in the area and you can join our special pals Jeanine and Mary Shaw -- the gallery manager -- to help them to celebrate on August 6th... 

While I cannot make it, I celebrate Jeanine and all she does everyday!

And I cannot wait to make the trip once again to Sanford...you'll catch the Art Girls' RoadShow at the JT Folk Art Gallery next March...details HERE...

Event:  National Publication Release Party
 
Date: Saturday, August 6 from 1-3 p.m.  Magazine signing, champagne toast and refreshments
 
Location: Jeanine Taylor Folk Art, 211 E. 1st St., Sanford, FL
 
Local Gallery Owner, Jeanine Taylor featured in National Magazine: Where Women Create, Inspiring Work Spaces of Extraordinary Women
 
After 19 years of artful entrepreneurship, gallery owner and southern folk art expert Jeanine Taylor is getting the national attention she deserves.  Taylor will be featured in the fall 2016 issue of Where Women Create in a six page article entitled “The Business of the Studio”. Published by Stampington & Company, the magazine covers inspiring stories of women who have carved out entrepreneurial roles for themselves in creative fields. The article was curated and photographed by Jen O’Connor, who visits the gallery annually with her traveling show of artists under the name Earth Angels Studios.
 
Since 1994, Stampington & Company has been a leading source of creative inspiration around the world, producing over 30 bestselling publications for a subscriber base of more than 50,000 readers.  Editor in Chief, Jo Packham was especially impressed with Taylor’s journey from a Fortune 500 company sales rep to visionary gallery owner.
 
“I’ve had several Stampington magazines available in my gallery for years.  They provide visual doses of creativity and inspiration to me, my staff and my customers,” Taylor explains.  “I’m so appreciative of this opportunity and honor from Jo Packham.  She provides a forum for courageous, imaginative women to share their success and I’m proud to be included.”
 
To celebrate this national recognition, Jeanine Taylor Folk Art will host a magazine signing and release party on Saturday, August 6 from 1 to 3pm. Copies of the magazine will be available for purchase and refreshments will be served. This is a free event. 211 E. 1st Street, Sanford, FL 32771. Phone 407-323-2774 for further information.
 
Contact the gallery for additional information, at 407-323-2774 or info@jtfolkart.com.
 
 

let's kick up our heels about this...WELCOME Finding Home Farms

This is clearly something to kick up our heels about...

 Earth Angels Studios is utterly thrilled to welcome Laura & Dana Putnam to our 

family of featured artists...

They are an amazing couple with a richly textured (and oh so fragrant) story to share...

 I got to know them so much better when I photographed their maple syrup production space and interviewed them for my column in "Where Women Create" magazine last fall...

and I am so grateful.

 Their feature ran in the February edition of Where Women Create magazine...

...there's just so much to Finding Home Farms...

So stay tuned for more info on their Maple Syrup...

...and how cool!! 

 They will be joining us at the  

FALL COUNTRY LIVING FAIRS to do tastings and a demo on the kitchen stage with this fabulous stuff!

 They also have a line of truly amazing soy candles...

clean and long burning, all-natural ingredients, 

and essential oils...

I have been looking for a candle line for sometime...many of you know about my documented obsession with smell and the warm touch of a candle burning in my kitchen...

and I have been missing carrying candles...

 So I am thrilled to be able to present their 

six signature scents...

and more are in the works for fall and holiday too!

 

Thanks again to Laura and Dana for their willingness to work with me, I know that as we put our heads and hearts into this, good things will surround 

all of us, as well as those who can encounter 

their amazing brand and all it encompasses...

more soon on Finding Home Farms!
