The Gift Shop "Artist of the Month" for March

The Gift Shop "Artist of the Month" for March is Brenda Beene Shackleford.

Brenda is one of those artists who creates in many different mediums. She works in collage, mono-printing, photography, and journal making...to name a few!

One of her signature creations is Brenda's "Sassafrasseee" Gratitude journals series.

"Each handmade journal is an unique work of art and consists of seven pocket pages that hold a small folded note card to record a word of gratitude for each day. The pockets can also hold a special memento like a photo of a loved one or a favorite travel memory making this little book a keepsake repository to help focus on what's really important in life."

Brenda also creates "Jypsy Journals". 

Brenda's photography, and mono-prints are new to The Gift Shop.

Brenda's photography can be found in prints, and framed 

just one of Brenda's colorful mono-prints 

I must mention that one of Brenda's collage/book pieces was selected for the prestigious Michigan Annual Exhibit this year!
