The Lovely Tammy Cunningham with her bag

These bags, inspired by my dear friend, Stephanie McNutt, are my newest endeavor = affordable, yet functional art! All bags are "recycled"....meaning: all bags I paint were formally owned, but now have been discarded, and I have made them into something new, something, hopefully you will find as "beautiful."  It all goes along with my Trash to Treasure concept of recycling and a green approach to artwork.

And they now available for purchase in a fabulous shop in Taos, New Mexico : FX/18 : http://www.fx18.com !!!  and at POLKA DOT located on South Pearl Street in Denver.

Most bags range from $30 - $100.  BELOW I show examples of my work, but this is only a SMALL sampling. TO DATE I HAVE PAINTED OVER 150 bags and about 75 of them are in circulation all about the country, and now internationally as well (Canada and Greece) right on!!!.to Buy ONLINE go to:  http://LaurieMavesART.etsy.com . If you find one on my website that is of interest to you, please contact me via email: laurie_maves_art@yahoo.com to see if it is still available.  I also sell them out of my studio located at 855 Inca Street in Denver, Colorado, and will do personalized bags on commission.
