DJ Solomon Fine Art
Dear Fellow Art Lovers ~ As a child, my pencil and sketchbook were my constant companions. I grew up drawing animals ~mostly horses. Then art was put aside as I married, had two children, raised Arabian horses and worked in the family-owned construction business.
A family tragedy and chronic illness left me bereft and disinterested in life. But at some point years later the emotional and physical pain began to lift. Once again I became aware of my treasures: my husband and daughter, my friends, my animals, and the incredible beauty of the world in which I lived. I picked up my paint brush… and began to see the world with new eyes.
I have discovered that I love deep, rich colors. That I must find the spirit of each subject I paint. I also know that animals are my favorite subjects and that my greatest joy is watching their souls emerge through the window of their eyes.
My wish is that my paintings express the gratitude I have for life… that somehow you can hear my joy speaking through these lovingly rendered images. And may it remind you of the incredible world you inhabit!

Woodylane Farm - Constance Funk
Come meet author and artist Constance D. Funk. Her first book, Beauty From Brokenness: Bits and Pieces of My Journey Into Wholeness was a huge success. She followed it with a second book as a companion called Holy As Thou: Bittersweet Tales About Remembering to Love.
Connie is also a mosaic artist. Each mosaic creation by Constance Funk is a one-of-a-kind work of art using found vintage materials as well as clay shapes made by hand. These pieces have been made by pressing Depression era glass, seams of old worn jeans, and and antique lockets, among others, into the clay to give it vintage appeal that tells a story. The story is that life is a mosaic of all of our experiences and that it is never too late to have a happy childhood, starting at this present moment.
