I am Iva Wilcox of Iva's Creations. I have always loved creating folk art that reflects a bygone era. My art has taken on a new importance in my life. Creating has been a great solace.
In June 2007, our beautiful, vivacious 17-year-old daughter died during a bone marrow transplant to cure myeloid dysplastic syndrome, a bone marrow failure disease. As an artist too, Brianna was my artistic partner and just beginning her love of all things vintage. I carry her in my heart always, and she is with me while I create.
I use many vintage embellishments, such as antique photos, crepe paper, Victorian scrap images, tinsel and ornaments. I scour thrift stores and garage sales for unique items to include.
All of my work is hand made by me and signed and dated. I have a hard time parting with each one.
I am proud to say that I am a published artist. I have had two articles in Somerset Studio, the most recent being the Sept./Oct. 2008 Halloween issue. See my Harvest Moon Kisses how-to article on page 72 and 73, and more of my art on pages 5 and 104.
I have picked up my watercolor paint brushes again, and regularly offer
ACEOs, 5x7 and some 8x10s, in addition to high quality reproduction prints.
Please see my current eBay auctions,for more one-of-a-kind vintage-style folk art and paintings.
Don't forget to add me to your Favorite Sellers list!
