5 out of 5 starsDebbie and Disley are great to work with! Debbie communicated with me about the process and what I wanted, and Disley sewed a great heirloom garter for me. She incorporated my mom's veil lace, my mother-in-law's wedding dress lace applique, and part of my grandma's gold wedding dress into a single garter that looks awesome. She even returned to me the fabric that she didn't use. I highly recommend Creative Heart Works if you want heirloom items made from your mom's/mother-in-law's/grandma's/etc. wedding dresses/veils.

5 out of 5 starsThis wedding card was a big hit in my family--which I predicted would happen! In the end, FIVE people wanted to sign it, rather than get their own cards! It was the most popular card at the wedding shower. Congrats to everybody who made this all possible! Sincerely, Beth Arnold

Creative Heartworks - Fine Art Giclée Prints and Artful Gifts
My husband Storm and I started Creative Heartworks in November 1997, and we began by creating products that combined Storm's photography with my artwork and poetry. Since its beginning, Creative Heartworks has undergone many transformations, and it has always included art and photography in its products and services.
As a partner and the gallery director in a former Portland art Gallery, I discovered I loved working with artists. When the gallery closed in 2007, we decided to continue working with local artists, and Creative Heartworks was transformed into a home-based business that produced Fine Art Giclée Prints. We provided all the services necessary to produce and publish high quality Fine Art Giclée Prints, and I also offered other services for artists such as marketing, event planning, and website development.
We were very fortunate, and Creative Heartworks grew to the point that we had to either expand outside of our home and hire employees, or change our business protocol. Since Storm had full-time employment and still does, I elected to close our doors to the public in January 2012 and continue working with just a few of our clients that had been with us from the beginning.
In my shop you will find handmade artful gifts and products that utilize our Fine Art Giclée Prints. (1) Handcrafted Glass Paperweights that display prints of my artwork and Storm's Photographs; (2) my Decorative Word Art on Canvas with my unique background designs that are decorated with pearls, rhinestones and glitter that can be customized; (3) Hardboard Beverage Coasters with Wood Display Stands that feature Storm's Photographs and my designs; (4) Fine Art Giclée Prints on canvas of my Creative Photo and Digital Artwork; and (5) Custom Giclée Prints on paper and canvas. And I am pleased to have added greeting cards and gift enclosure cards by artist Lisi Belz McCarthy.
All of my artwork and Storm's photographs are also available as prints and other products through Fine Art America and can be viewed on our website at www.creativeheartworks.com.
Creative Heartworks Fine Art Prints are produced in-house using high quality archival inks and media that have light fastness ratings of 100 to 200 years. Prints are produced on paper and canvas using the Epson Stylus Pro 9800 - a 44-inch professional wide-format printer with 8-color ink technology, which produces prints with amazing color fidelity.
From capturing the original art through photography or scanning, through the printing process and the finishing process, Creative Heartworks Fine Art Prints are made with HEART and attention to detail. The quality is without comparison.
What the world needs now is more HEART - more HEART in the way we make life choices, the way we relate to others, the way we work, and the way we play. If you want to have a different experience in life, let your HEART be your guide. ~ Debbie Smith
