David Ramirez

I started painting around the 70s. Though I stopped for many years, I recently started up again. I really enjoy acrylics, I am experienced in water colors and oils. One day soon I’ll get back to them. I also enjoy working with repurposed wood. I’m making small curiosities, garden art, things like door knockers, small tables and other things. I’m always looking for other forms of art to work with. I’m now semi-retired, so I’m keeping myself busy with all my art.  David will be at the Faery Godmother's Enchanted Cottage and Garden,44843 Dinely Drive.

Bertha Garza

Bertha Garza literally had a dream one night about creating a natural product that would help protect and enhance all types of skin, especially maturing skin.  She created a body lotion that was enriched with the healthiest oils and vitamins, thus creating the name: DAZZLING DREAMS NATURAL PRODUCTS.
