Although I buy and sell many different things, my primary area of expertise is wood carvings produced by ANRI (Italy) between 1912 and the mid 1960s. My book, "ANRI Woodcarvings", (Schiffer Publishing, Ltd.,) was written in 2001, with co-author, Donald Bull.

If you're a serious collector, or wise eBay seller, you will definitely want a copy of my book!

After years of art instruction, and giving my art as gifts to friends and family, I am now a Professional, Self Representing Artist, offering my work on eBay. In the interest of keeping my art, and my ANRI and antique listings separate I registered the username:

phillybelles*art.

Lately, my primary interest has been Art Cards, but I also create larger works using watercolors, Prismacolor pencils, soft pastels, & oils. I also love creating mixed media and assemblages.

My collages may incorporate my own photography, vintage images, handmade and origami paper, vintage ribbon, exotic fibers, found objects, charms, trinkets, and anything else that catches my eye.

I am a proud member, and Moderator, of ACEO, an eBay Artists' Group with close to 3000 members worldwide. ACEO stands for Art Cards Editions and Originals. Art created in every medium can be found by doing an eBay search on "ACEO."

ACEOs, or ATCs (Artist Trade Cards,) are offered by a group of self representing artists, and are affordable, collectible, tradable, and a blast to own and create!

The ONLY official size for an ACEO is 2 1/2" by 3 1/2", so they're easy to handle, show, and will fit into standard trading card album sleeves or display boxes. They also make great inexpensive and unique gifts. An ACEO can also be framed, displayed on a small easel, or used as a bookmark! ACEOs are an excellent, inexpensive way to aquire original art from the artists themselves, so start your collection today!

I'm also the Group Leader of a very exclusive group of eBay artists, AFF&FUM.

My Art Cards have been awarded 1st and 2nd place prizes in ACEO Theme Week competitions, and can be found in collections all over the U.S., the UK, Sweden, Brazil, Australia, and Canada. I was also commissioned to create a series of ACEOs for a private collector.
