"Two Codgers", nice ink drawing by my mother. www.dorothymessenger.com
Dorothy Messenger, 1925 - 2011
"Caught in the Cogs", by Dorothy Messenger.
"Swedish Pair', ink drawing by my mom.

We're ready to ship your order! Prints and originals.

My mother, Dorothy Sofia Jonsson, was a full blooded Swede who was born in San Diego in 1925. Her dad was a bus driver for the San Diego Transit company, and her mom, Hattie, died when mom was only 18.

She married my dad just after he graduated from Bethel Seminary in St. Paul. As a commercial artist, she has done many drawings and sketches, and a few small commercial art jobs for income.

In 2011, we explored the portfolios and found that we had framed less than 5% of her many works. So, I have been sharing some in the form of prints, gifts, and the sales of a very, very few originals, actually, only a few of them have been sold.

This is a hobby for me but I try to be very good with customer service and to address any problem dissatisfaction anyone has with the print, the shipping, or anything else.

If you're not happy with something you buy, don't give me a bad review; just write and I will immediately solve the problem on my own dime or refund your full amount without question, ever.

Thanks! www.dorothymessenger.com
