Wednesday Member's Spotlight


Good morning!  I have been selected to make the first guest post.  This is a wonderful day for this as I woke up to sunshine and above average temperatures here in central Minnesota.  The snow is melting  and I can maybe see some green grass!


I am Patricia (Pat) Jarrett and my shop's name is The Sunflower Cupboard.  I am a decorative/tole painter and designer.  



This is a sampling of some of my items that have been listed in Etsy. These are finished items.


I have always been interested in arts and crafts.  Art in high school was one of my favorite classes.  I have been handcrafting for decades, trying many different things.  I took my first decorative painting class in 1985 and knew after the first class that I wanted to paint.  And here I am decades later and that is what I am doing!  My children are all grown and I am now fortunately able to devote a greater portion of time to my painting.  I sometimes look at the time I am painting as my therapy time.  



I paint on wood, canvas, tin, glass, paper mache and have lately been collecting unusual previously owned goodies that I re-purpose.  Some might call it a "junk pile" but I lovingly call it my "Junque".  





Within the past year I have started to design my own painting patterns.   It was something I have wanted to try, took a lot of work to do and am learning more about the design end every day.  This collage is a small representation of the patterns I have designed to date.  I have been very fortunate to have some of my patterns accepted into two of the E-magazines (The Pixelated Palette and Painting E-Zine).  



If you would like more information about my painting, I can be found here (see below):
