I call DNA (Danielle Armbruster) our “resident artist” because she is actually my daughter, though it has been many years since she actually resided with me. Not unlike other young, creative types, Danielle discovered long ago that a “traditional” job does not suite her personality. And like many aspiring artists, this means that she frequently has trouble making ends meet. She has sold a number of her paintings and is working hard to find galleries and/or shows in which she might showcase her work and gain further exposure.Danielle is completely self-taught, having begun her endeavors at a very young age. She won her first art competition at age 10 and hopes that she might find art school in her future. Knowing that she is talented and quick with graphite(the medium with which she has the most experience) I encouraged her to consider adding pet portraits as a viable source of additional income. She astounds me with her life-like portrayals and I am sure that should you commission her for your pet’s portrait, you will be astounded, too. You will not find an artist more appreciate of your purchase and support as she undertakes transforming her natural talents into her livelihood.

Pet Dreams, the manufacturer of the Cratewear Dog Crate Covers, also recently announced a significant price increase. Those prices are set to increase August 1st so I’ll be adjusting selling prices to customers on those as well.

Let’s hope that a “changing of the guard” with the November election will usher in an era of relief and stabilize our failing economy. We need a strong dollar to keep our import costs down (since it’s an unfortunate reality that our country would rather import products than manufacture them ourselves).
