As we said in the Home page, this is a family effort! 

 

Roger (Dad) began his career in photography, then eventually founded his own business selling printing supplies and equipment to printers. He not only knew the trade inside out but he was a great salesman and his motto was always to "put the customer first." His personality is easy-going and out-going, honest and attentive to detail which made his business prosper; he's a great problem-solver and he became a great source of encouragement to his wife (Mom) when it came to her artistic giftings. Once he retired they moved to Florida and she began producing almost a painting a month.  Dad decided to try turning her works into cards and prints so they could be enjoyed by others once the originals (mainly pastels, acrylics and oils) sold. And sell like hotcakes they did! He signed them up for various arts and crafts shows in the region and they were off to a nice, long and fun, new chapter in their lives.

Jan (oldest daughter) and her husband, Dale, moved down to be with her parents in the summer of 2021 when Dad was diagnosed with cancer. Surprisingly and very unfortunately, it was Mom who passed away six months later. The timing of their move was perfect as it was an honor and a blessing to be there for both of them at no doubt the darkest time of their lives. Living now with Dad, participating in his art shows, enjoying Mom's fully-stocked art studio (Jan's works are mainly done in watercolors, colored pencils, oil and pen/ink) as well as the beauty and climate of northwest Florida, has so far been a precious season in Jan and Dale's lives.
