Art With Appeal

by Carolyn O'Connor  

Thank you for visiting my site!

Currently my site is being updated to bring  you a wider variety and newer photos. Please bear with me and check back from time to time. Until then, enjoy a small sample below of what I do, and be sure to visit my blog for the latest news and pictures.

Most of my work is done on "second life" pieces which I rescued from a garage sale or thrift shop.

If you have a special item you would like me to breathe new life into with my art work, contact me.

I work on contract and have given special looks to chairs, sewing boxes, crown molding in a business, tables, cupboards and even a new nursery for a baby.

Some of the pictures on this page allow you to click on them for a larger picture of my work, then use your browsers back button to return to this view. Enjoy!

One of my favorite projects is a series of hand-painted, balanced wine bottle holders. Several models are available for sale. However, I can also customize a holder to your color and design needs. Not only are they conversation pieces, they make great gifts!

I do colorful deco chairs (left) and I paint chairs and then cut a hole in the seat for a planter to fit in (right). If you prefer I leave can the seat in one piece for display in your home.
