PAFA Monday Merchant Featured Artist

My featured artist this week is my friend and Primitive and Folk Artists Etsy teammate, Vicky! A clever crafty gal she is and good at it. Her Etsy shoppe is loaded with seasonal and holiday items, and everything is ready to ship.
Plus, she's having a March Sale!

1. Introduce yourself and your business.

Hey everyone! I am Victoria, Vicky to all my friends, and owner of a small company called “Paintspots and Splinters”. My business name appeared to me after many hours of contemplation. I seriously just thought about everything that I used to make my crafts. Paint and wood was at the TOP of the list!

2. How long have you been in business?

I ran a small business under my name for about 8 years until the twins came along in 2005 (we have 6 children all together). I took a break, as one would expect with a baby and ESPECIALLY TWO, and started up again using Etsy to sell my goods in August.

3. Who or what inspires you?

Anything and Everyone!

4. What is your creative style?

I’m a decorative painter and LOVE whimsy. I call a lot of my pieces “Primsy”; a little whimsy mixed with primitive! My favorite painting technique is the  shabby chic style although I’ll try a bit of everything!

5. What medium do you use in creating?

I like to work with wood and LOTS of it but I’ve also found pleasure in working with fabrics and painting on them. I use acrylic paints but also dabble in Oils in some of my Fine Art pieces that you can see on my blog as I don’t sell those. I do sell decorative woodcrafts and Primitive/Whimsical Make-Dos. This year I’m introducing some small home décor like picture frames, signboards, small shelves, and some small stools.
