Winona Cookie Creations
"When I’m not busy being a psychologist, I’m busy making art, something I have done for as long as I can remember.  Since I can’t seem to settle on just one career, it’s not surprising that I can’t settle on just one artistic style either.   I enjoy creating whimsical children’s illustrations in watercolor, but also like working with collage, assemblage and making jewelry.  Let’s face it: my studio’s a MESS!  So while I’m snipping, gluing and painting, I’m channeling Maurice Sendak, Ed Gorey and Alphonse Mucha, and hoping you like the results.  While I can sometimes recreate something I’ve done, I’m not interested in mass production, so my offerings will tend to change often – keep checking back!"
"About Winona Cookie: Winona Cookie was my imaginary friend when I was a kid.  She looked just like my avatar.  Also, I LOVE cookies. And tea. Cookies and tea, both."

Oh my, the beauty of Danny Roberts
"I've always been one for creative projects and art and crafts.
When I was five, I convinced myself that pouring mud onto cardboard
was how to make concrete.
I began drawing as a young child, but it wasn't until a
few years ago when I decided to practice everyday,
that I started getting better.
I would draw some days for 15 hours straight
till my hands were swollen shut."
