Canvas Art Tile - Custom Orders

Preserve your most cherished photos with a beautiful and unique canvas art tile. I do custom orders using your photos. Your photo will be modified to fit onto a 4" acid-free, woven, richly textured canvas which then will be mounted to a 4.25" tile. All you need to do is to email me your photo in a jpeg file, 300dpi. Please specify the focal point of the photo that you want to appear on the canvas. I will crop and size to fit. I will email you a proof for your approval. Custom orders are non-refundable and need to be paid for before I begin work on it. A 5" easal is included and your tile will be packaged in an ivory organza bag. The back of the tile is finished with a cork backing. If you have any questions email me.

Great for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, vacations, new baby and everything else that is special to you.


These photos were taken along Marginal Way in Maine.  These were done for one of my customers.
Visit my shop to see the complete collection.

New Shop on Zibbet

I've heard a lot of good things about Zibbet so I decided to open a shop there for my ceramic tiles.  Please visit my shop and let me know what you think.

This whimsical angel is printed on artist canvas which is acid free, and richly textured. The canvas is then mounted to a 4.25 x 4.25 green ceramic tile. The border around the canvas is the actual tile. A protective coating is applied to protect the canvas. A cork backing is also added to protect furniture when using as a coaster/trivet. Included is a 5" easal for displaying your tile. It all comes packaged in an ivory organza bag.

Use only a soft cloth to clean. Remember this is canvas and should be treated with care.

Makes a beautiful display on a table or shelf; also makes a perfect and unique gift.

Updated My Blog

Well, I decided to update my blog page.  I've been playing around with it for a while and I think I've found the design I like (although I am always changing things).  I also have a new collection of clay tiles.  Inspirational and whimsical at the same time.  You can check them out in my Etsy Shop.  I'm working on more tiles and will add them to my shop as soon as they're ready.  These tiles are double-sided so you get double the inspiration!

Everyone can use a little inspiration so check them out.  They also make wonder gifts.

Here's a preview:

Fourth of July is a Year Round Celebration

It's funny how all the patriotic decorations come out just for holidays.  The celebrations and fireworks, the cookouts to celebrate our patriotism. Hooray for the red, white and blue isn't just for the holidays. It is an every day celebration. We should celebrate our American pride year round not just on a holiday.   This Americana Flag ornament is handmade, hand painted and signed on the back. It measures approximately 4". It has a matte finish for protection. Because every ornament is individually made, no two are exactly the same. Hang with pride, attach to a gift, wine bottle, use on a candle jar, or a wreath. Show your patriotism all year round.  Happy 4th of July ~ enjoy and be safe.
