5 out of 5 starsI bought a piece of Art from ABitofWhimsyArt, a while ago, for my daughter. I loved it so much, I bought myself one too, along with 2 other pieces. Wonderful artist! The prints were very good quality and met my expectations.

5 out of 5 starsI have purchased several items from Etsy, but this is definitely my favorite. I am attaching a picture but do not feel it does justice to this drawing. There is a great deal of detail, with a softness. Creates a sense of peace. The quality of the paper enhances the look. Shipping was timely and the piece arrived in excellent shape.

5 out of 5 starsThis is and will always be the best gift we gave ourselves. We communicated back and forth for the entire process. She shared drafts, made requested edits. She made us so comfortable honoring our baby girl. Having our daughter now hanging on our wall is hard but also makes us smile every day seeing her face. The end result is absolutely beautiful. We thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

5 out of 5 starsI came across this page as I was searching for a stillborn keychain. This far succeeded my expectations times A BILLION!!! Joanne was exceptional and was in contact with me every step of the way and was showing me ever few days how it was going and if I wanted her to change anything. We lost our baby girl unexpectedly at 36 weeks and 3 days and we were in such shock that we did not think of getting a decent picture of the three of us in one where you could see our baby girls face and she was able to capture and pull from multiple photos. I would recommend her to anyone wanting to capture such a meaningful and important part of your life. It is truly a blessing and something we will cherish FOREVER !

A Bit of Whimsy
It's hard for me to find the words to describe my art... I never considered myself to be an "artist". An artist to me was someone that you would find in art galleries or in books.
Growing up I was always very shy...now realizing that I'm an introvert in every sense of the word. Drawing for me has always been my *safe * place, so much easier to feel than to actually tell someone what was going on inside. It was never a thought that my little sketches could go anywhere outside of my own journals. There were a lot of years here & there that would go by without even picking up a pencil.
It all changed for me when my dad passed away in 2010, this is when my passion for art was really awakened. He was my kindred spirit. I didn't always feel this way, but something happens to you when you grow up and reflect on all that you are and where you've come from.
So with no "real" plans to become an artist I'm afraid I have no impressive art schools to go on about, my only resume I have to offer is the art you see here. Although I'm not sure that you can *teach* feelings, you see, so much emotion & feeling goes into each piece that I create. There's nothing I love more than staring at a blank sheet of paper wondering what perhaps will come to life next. I usually don't have an "intention" when I start a piece... my passion & imagination are usually my only references.
So it's these passions…. the light inside that drives my pencil. When I look at my daughter it's not her beautiful features, but her precious & pure spirit that I *see* when I look at her.... this is what transpires in my art......

Art was always so much more than a hobby for me, but it was through my little ones that I found the clarity. They taught me that this is what I was meant to do & to never stop reaching for the stars. This is 🤍 A Bit of Whimsy 🤍🤍🤍

Frequently asked questions
Is your portrait hand drawn from a photo
Yes, all of my original art is entirely hand drawn with no digital enhancements whatsoever.
Can you create a portrait from multiple photographs or images.
Yes, I can incorporate any photos that you have to merge into one portrait.
For example you may have a photo of your dad who might have past, since having a baby. And you wish you had an image of your dad with the grandbaby he never met...
I can draw your dad from the photo you have, and using a current photo of your new baby, I can adjust the pose of your dad to make it appear that your baby is either with your dad or your dad holding the baby.
How do I send you my reference pictures for a portrait?
Simply send me an email using the "contact seller" button. Within the reply or message box you will see a tiny square in the upper right hand corner of the screen where you may click on to upload all of your pictures.
Do my photographs have to be in high resolution in order for you to do a portrait.
No, I've worked with super low resolution images in the past and can most certainly work with you to make your vision come to life. In addition, I will be updating you throughout the process to ensure you're pleased with the way it is coming out.
