Announcement
Gypsy Whims Art is an eclectic mix of all the things I create...sometimes on a whim. Thanks for stopping by, Melissa
GypsyWhimsArt was previously under the shop name Painted Tulip Studio and at one time, I had all my photo pendants in separate shop (MelsArtBits) and sculptures in yet another shop (FridaysChildWhims)...I found this incredibly difficult to keep up with so everything is under one shop now. You may notice some watermarks with all the previous shop names on them...don't worry, everything here is mine!

5 out of 5 starsWOW. My girl was always easy on the eyes (and more fun to ride than mere words can convey) but your portrait captured her beauty, yes, but also the very essence of her lovely spirit. High praise for the quality of the canvas and the well packaged delivery. You are truly a gifted artist. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

5 out of 5 starsMelissa is AMAZING to work with! I loved this moon print but for personal reasons I asked her to flip the image to resemble a sentimental photograph I have. She was meticulous enough to point out the moon’s craters would not be accurate but I didn’t mind so she did this for me. It turned out beautifully and the quality is exceptional. Melissa is a very friendly and personal seller that I would definitely recommend and buy from again. A+++

Art is adaptive, fluid and ever changing. Capture it if you can...
My shop is a bit of an eclectic mix but like many other creative souls, I like making different things and not being 'trapped' into one particular art venture, hence the name 'Gypsy Whims Art', always 'traveling' into different art mediums in a free spirited way, sometimes on a whim.
My starting point was years ago drawing as a child. Later and more formally, with black and white film photography, commercial art and graphic design, also pen and ink architectural renderings.
My portfolio includes a mix of what is considered more traditional photography along with images enhanced with layers, textures, filters and other effects blended with the original image taken with my camera.
Another creative outlet for me is making jewelry and clay figurines when I can find the time.
I welcome any questions or comments you may have about my work.
