Tiny Treasures Collection
These tiny treasures are all original, small works for the little walls or corners or your home that need a touch of warmth and color. They range in size from 4x4” squares on canvas that are read to hang to works on paper in which the artwork is 5x7” and come matted in an 8x10” matte. These pieces on paper fit into a standard 8x10” frame. They can glow as stand alone pieces or fill a larger space in a beautiful grouping. You can start with one or two and add to your collection. You can create a personal grouping by added shells, dried flowers or personal memorabilia to your wall.
