Art For The Day - Juli Krasinski

©Juli Krasinski - The Beat of My Heart

I’ve been on my own since I was 13 years old. I’m a self taught artist, grow my own herbs and veggies, practice yoga and take in stray cats. I’ve been a single Mom for the last 9 years and am blessed beyond measure to have my son.

Let’s see, what else ... Oh yes, I also happen to have aspergers.

I won’t pretend for a second that it’s easy but, when compared with many other things, I count myself lucky. I think it is impossible to explain to anyone who doesn’t live it but ... it’s kind of like trying to go up the UP escalator and there’s a huge crowd all scrambling to get down it and you’re in their way. You see, I’ve never thought there was anything "wrong" with me. I’m just different. Very different in many ways but still, just different.

Sometimes I lose my mojo and get depressed that I can’t fit in or be like everyone else but then I find it again and remember that different is a very good thing to be.

Thanks Juli! You can visit her Etsy shop here.

Have a great day everybody thanks for stopping by.

Card Of The Day

The image for these note cards was created from a painting done by my sister Rose. The artwork is printed on photo paper and mounted on 80# red card stock. The card is blank inside for your own personal message. I have listed three sets of these cards with a portion of the proceeds from one set being donated to The Komen Foundation because we lost our grandmother to Breast Cancer, a portion of the proceeds from the second set being donated to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society because we lost our mother to Myeloma and a portion of the proceeds from the third set being donated to The Autism Society of America because Rose has autism.

This is a set of six A2 cards. Have a great day everybody, thanks for stopping by.

Card Of The Day

This is one of the cards I designed for an Ovarian Cancer Survivor. Ovarian Cancer is considered a silent killer of women because it is usually hard to detect in the early stages. In the US alone at least 22,000 women are diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer each year, of that 15,000 do not survive. September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, please do all that you can to bring awareness to this disease. The cards are not yet available on our website but we do have some on eBay and Cafepress.

Have a great day everybody, thanks for stopping by.

Card Of The Day

This is a card from my "HR" series. I lost my mother in 2006 to Myeloma. I did several drawings in her hospital room thus the origin of "HR". The original drawing was done using pastels on paper. A print of the art work is mounted on yellow card stock. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this card is donated to support Blood Cancer initiatives.
